Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) The employing
authority of an agency may at any time transfer a senior executive officer of
the agency from his or her office of senior executive officer, or the
performance of any functions in the Senior Executive Service,
to —
(a)
another office of senior executive officer that is vacant; or
(b) the
performance of other functions in the Senior Executive Service.
(2) An employing
authority shall, before transferring a senior executive officer under
subsection (1) from its agency to another agency —
(a)
obtain the consent of the employing authority of the agency to which the
senior executive officer is proposed to be transferred; and
(b)
consult the senior executive officer proposed to be transferred.
(3) Subject to the
provisions of this Act relating to the management of the redeployment and
redundancy of employees, a senior executive officer may only be transferred
under subsection (1) at the level of classification which he or she had
immediately before that transfer.

which a senior executive officer is transferred under subsection (1)(a)
is an office, or the functions to the performance of which a senior executive
officer is transferred under subsection (1)(b) are functions, in a
different agency, the employing authority of that agency becomes the employing
authority of the senior executive officer.
(5) On the transfer of
a senior executive officer under subsection (1), the employing authority
of the agency to which that transfer takes place is substituted for the
employing authority of the agency from which that transfer takes place as a
party to the contract of employment of the senior executive officer.

senior executive officer under subsection (1) does not affect the term of
