Appeals

Northern Territory Public Service (NTPS) employees can appeal agency decisions to the Public Sector Appeals Board.

Appeals can only be made about certain:

• disciplinary
• inability or promotion
• promotion decisions.

The independent board is made up of a:

• chairperson selected by the Commissioner for Public Employment
• person selected by the chief executive officer of the agency being appealed against
• person selected by the relevant union.

Under the law the board must conduct an appeal expeditiously and with as little formality and technicality as is reasonably practicable.
