About this statute

This section defines key terms used in the Act, including the Academy, Advisory Committee, Agency, “person,” and “security service.” This text says the Act applies to all members and sets out how the intelligence services and academy must be organized, funded, audited, and reported on. The Minister and intelligence-service leadership have powers and duties over appointments, committee setup, security screening, and related administration. A member who is absent from official duties without permission for more than 14 consecutive days is deemed discharged for misconduct. The Director-General concerned or the Chief Executive Officer may, with the Minister’s approval, award a suitable monetary or other reward to a person who is or was a member for extraordinary diligence or devotion in performing duties.
