Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts(1) The authority has the following functions:
(a) administering the scheme of long service leave benefits established under this Act;
(b) making payments under this Act;
(c) keeping the employers register and workers register;
(d) any other function given to the authority under this Act or another territory law.
Note A provision of a law that gives a function to an entity also gives the entity the powers necessary and convenient to exercise the function (see Legislation Act, s 196).
(2) To avoid any doubt, the authority may exercise its functions inside and outside the ACT, including in a foreign country.
