Museums of History NSW Amendment (Chief Executive Officer) Bill 2024
The Hon. JOHN GRAHAM, Minister for Roads — 2024-05-14
The bill presents a straightforward legislative change to amend the Museums of History Act 2022, with the effect that the Chief Executive Officer of the Museums of History NSW will not be a statutory appointment but instead a person employed in the public service under the Government Sector Employment Act 2013. The Museums of History NSW was formed in 2022, following debate in this place, as an umbrella cultural institution that cares for the history of New South Wales, encompassing the State’s beloved historical places, including the Hyde Park Barracks, the Museum of Sydney, the Justice and Police Museum, and many more that the people of New South Wales know and love.
