EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Public Service (Defence) Determination 2002/19
This Determination amends Public Service (Defence) Determination 1999/11, Overseas Conditions of Service (the Principal Determination), by varying the rates of overseas living allowance (OLA) for most of the localities relevant to employees of the Department of Defence. The revised rates of OLA take account of movements in applicable exchange rates used to calculate the entitlements.
This Determination also provides for a 4-month extension in the periods of operation of temporary difficult post upgrades applicable at 3 overseas localities. This in turn provides for higher rates of difficult post allowance to be payable at those localities for the periods specified.
Defence Determination 2000/1, Conditions of Service, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, applies the provisions of the Principal Determination to members of the Australian Defence Force as if the members were employees in the same circumstances.
The localities for which OLA is not varied by this Determination are Kiribati and Tuvalu.
Clause 1 of this Determination sets out the manner in which this Determination may be cited.
Clause 2 provides for clause 6 to commence on 1 July 2002, in order to authorise the extension of the temporary difficult post upgrades for a period of 4 months beyond 30 June 2002. The remaining provisions of this Determination commence on 20 June 2002, the beginning of the next pay period following its signature.
Clause 3 specifies that the amendments are made to the Principal Determination.
Clauses 4 and 5 substitute revised Schedules setting out rates of OLA and supplementary allowances respectively.
Clause 6 amends Schedule 9 to the Principal Determination, which sets out various aspects of difficult post assistance. Part 4 of the Schedule provides for the temporary upgrade of difficult post grades (and therefore allowance) for specified localities — currently Fiji, Israel and the Solomon Islands. The amendment extends the end date for all these temporary upgrades from 30June 2002 to 31 October 2002. The temporary upgrade for the Solomon Islands is reduced from Special Difficult Post Allowance Grade A to Special Difficult Post Allowance Grade B with effect from 1 July 2002, and the commencement date for the period of temporary grading in the Solomon Islands is amended to that date to make this aspect clear.
