Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations(1) In this regulation, suspension , in relation to a member, means the suspension under this Part of the payment of salary and allowances to that member by reason of the absence from duty of that member while in civil custody.
(2) Where a member subject to a suspension returns to duty from civil custody having been in civil custody by reason of an act which the member is alleged to have done, or is suspected of having done, and during the period of that absence:
(a) the member was not charged under a law, other than service law, with an offence constituted by the doing of that act; or
(b) the member was so charged and:
(i) the charge was withdrawn;
(ii) the charge was dismissed;
(iii) the member was acquitted of the offence; or
(iv) the charge was found to be proved but a decision was made by the court hearing the charge not to convict the member of an offence;
that suspension ceases when the member so returns to duty.
(3) In subregulation (2), the reference to the doing of an act includes a reference to the omission to do an act.
