Government and Related Employees Appeals Tribunal of New South Wales
- Government and Related Employees Appeals Tribunal of New South Wales
The Government and Related Employees Appeals Tribunal of New South Wales (commonly known as GREAT) is a tribunal established under the "Government and Related Employees Appeal Tribunal Act 1980" (NSW). It hears certain promotional appeals and disciplinary appeals from employees of the New South Wales State Government. It commenced operation on 1 September 1980.
History
The tribunal commenced on 1 September 1980. It replaced the Crown Employees Appeal Board of New South Wales and the Promotions Appeal Tribunal of New South Wales constituted under section 69H of the Public Service (Promotion Appeals) Act 1902 (NSW).
Jurisdiction
GREAT hears and determines appeals against decisions relating to the discipline and promotion of NSW public sector employees and employees of certain other statutory authorities. GREAT also hears promotion appeals and Hurt On Duty Claims by members of the New South Wales Police Force.
There are limited rights of appeal to the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
NSW public sector employees will also often have the option of seeking reinstatement or re-employment in the New South Wales Industrial Relations Commission. However they will usually be required to choose one or the other.
Chairperson and members
The current chairperson is Ms Patricia A Lynch.
While an appeal panel will consist of the Chairperson and 2 others, there are no other 'members' of the GREAT. The 2 'others' sitting on an appeal panel will consist of one person nominated by the employer and one by the employee's union. The purpose is to get a 'balanced' decision on appeal.
