Schedule 1 Amendments
The Police Association Employees (Superannuation) Act 1969 (the Principal
Act) provides for superannuation for certain employees of the Police Association
of New South Wales. Under section 3 (8) of the Principal Act, a person is not
entitled to an annual superannuation allowance if the person ceases to be
employed by the Police Association while under the age of 60 unless the person
is certified by 2 members of the Police Medical Board to be unfit for service.

Schedule 1 amends the Principal Act to bring it into line with the Police
Regulation (Superannuation) Act 1906. The amendments allow the SAS Trustee
Corporation to certify that an employee of the Police Association is unfit for
service having regard to the medical advice of 2 members of the Police Medical
Board or any one or more medical practitioners nominated by the SAS Trustee
Corporation.
