The Public Service Appeal Board was established in 1958. It heard and determined appeals against decisions of the Public Service Commissioner relating to appointments, promotion, and disciplinary action. The Commissioner for Review replaced the Public Service Appeal Board in 1984.
The Public Service Appeal Board was established by the Public Service Tribunal Act of 1958. It was abolished by the Tasmanian State Service Act of 1984.
The Board was made up of the Public Service Commissioner and two other public servants appointed by the Governor-in-Council for three years. One of them was elected by members of the public service.
In 1965, the Public Service Appeals Board heard an appeal against the Public Service Commissioner’s decison regarding maladministration at Weeroona Girls’ Taining Centre.
