35  When conduct relates to an agency

Main definition
 (1) Conduct relates to an agency if the agency, or a public official belonging to the agency at the time of the conduct, engages in the conduct.

Conduct by unincorporated subsidiary agencies
 (2) Despite subsection (1), if:
 (a) an agency (the subsidiary agency) is established by or under a law of the Commonwealth for the purpose of assisting, or performing functions connected with, another agency (the parent agency); and
 (b) the subsidiary agency is an unincorporated body that is a board, council, committee, sub‑committee or other body;
conduct that would, apart from this subsection, relate to the subsidiary agency is instead taken, for the purposes of this Act, to relate to the parent agency.
Note: A machinery of government change (the abolition of an agency or a transfer of functions between agencies) may affect how disclosures are handled under this Act: see sections 73A to 73D.
