Despite paragraph 10(1)(d) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 and the definition of Department of State in section 8 of that Act, the Review Council is not a Commonwealth entity for the purposes of that Act and is taken to be part of the Department for those purposes.

Note: This means that the councillors are officials of the Department for the purposes of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.
