Financial compensation schemes

The Act of Grace mechanism under section 65 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 applies to ½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþand is administered by the Department of Finance.

The Scheme for Compensation for Detriment caused by Defective Administration (CDDA Scheme) permits individuals to apply for compensation from non-corporate Commonwealth entities (NCCEs) in certain circumstances. However, while ½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþis an NCCE, it is unable to consider applications made to it under the CDDA Scheme. This is because only Portfolio Ministers and officials authorised by the Portfolio Minister can decide applications made under the CDDA Scheme. ½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþhas not been authorised to decide applications under the CDDA Scheme since September 2015.
