12 Related party transactions and key management personnel
The Commission is a wholly owned entity of the Crown.
Related party disclosures have not been made for transactions with related parties that are within a normal supplier
or client/recipient relationship on terms and conditions no more or less favourable than those it is reasonable to
expect the Commission would have adopted in dealing with a party at arm’s length in the same circumstances.
Further, transactions with other government agencies (for example, government departments and Crown entities)
are not disclosed as related party transactions when they are consistent with the normal operating arrangements
between government agencies and undertaken on the normal terms and conditions for such transactions.

Full-time equivalent values have been pro-rated for positions that were not part of the senior management team
for the full year.
During the financial year, the number of Commissioners in office changed from three full-time and three part-time
Commissioners to two full-time Commissioners. The structure of the senior management team also changed and
resulted in a net reduction of one position. Another senior management position was vacant for part of the year.
