Canberra Public Service Board reviews tentatively classified officers
A Canberra Branch deputation urged better pay during absences on recreation and leave. The Public Service Board issued a memorandum allowing officers regularly occupying tentatively classified positions to be treated as promoted for salary during such absences. The move excludes uncreated or non permanent roles and relates to wartime or special conditions. Funds from the Canberra branch have been donated to the Treasury. The Executive Council will decide on investing branch funds in Commonwealth securities.
