Re-engagement of an unsuccessful election candidate
About re-engagement of an uncuccessful election candidate:
Generally an APS employee cannot be elected to a House of Parliament (or in an ATSIC election) and so a candidate for such an election must resign from the APS. The legislation does, however, provide that if such a person is unsuccessful in that election (and they meet the other tests proscribed in the legislation) that they may be re-engaged in the APS.
Current directive publications, circulars & advices:
- Circular No 2001/3: Supplementary Information for APS Employees Contesting Elections
- Circular No 2001/2: Requirements for APS Employees Seeking to Contest an Election
- Advice No 24: Miscellaneous Issues (as amended by 2001/2, 2001/3, 2002/10, 2004/1)
