Explanatory memorandum

This memorandum is not part of the determination, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This determination, which comes into force on 1 November 2022, sets the rate for the salary of the Governor-General. The determination is made under the Governor-General Act 2010, which provides for the Governor-General’s salary to be determined from time to time by the Remuneration Authority (the Authority). The Governor-General’s salary is not exempt from income tax and has been set on this basis.

In making this determination the Authority took into account the mandatory criteria listed in sections 18 and 18A of the Remuneration Authority Act 1977 (the Act). Accordingly, the Authority has increased the Governor-General’s salary by a modest 2% for the 2022/23 year.

The Authority will be undertaking a review of its approach to determining the salary of the Governor-General in the coming year. If, as a consequence of this review, there are any marked changes to the Authority’s approach, the Authority may amend this determination during the course of the year.

The determination revokes and replaces the Governor-General (Salary) Determination 2021, which expires on the close of 31 October 2022.

This determination expires on the close of 31 October 2023 (see section 19(1) of the Act).

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2019.

Date of notification in Gazette: 13 October 2022.
