Elected Member Fitness to Undertake Duties

The purpose of this policy is to support elected members in undertaking their roles and functions by:

  • making elected members aware of when and how to access support if they cannot fulfil their duties to the best of their ability
  • outlining factors and circumstances which may impact an elected member's fitness to perform all duties in their role
  • setting out the obligations of elected members to make confidential disclosures regarding impacts on their abilities to undertake all duties
  • setting out the obligations of the General Manager in dealing with fitness for duty issues where they may impact an elected member and/or employees or other persons within the workplace.
