Notice of Management Change

The Notice of Management Change form can be used to add or remove a duty manager, or appoint new, acting or temporary managers.

You can choose from one of the following options when completing this form:

  • New certificate-holding manager - if you're appointing a new permanent duty manager (who holds a current Manager's Certificate). This includes existing staff that may have recently obtained their duty manager certificate or new employees.

  • Temporary manager - if you want to make one of your staff a permanent duty manager, but they don't currently have a Manager's Certificate. The staff member must apply for a Manager's Certificate within two working days of this notification. If you're appointing a temporary manager because a duty manager is leaving, please also complete a separate form for the person leaving.

  • Acting manager - if your duty manager is going on annual leave or sick leave for more than 48 hours. If a duty manager is sick or on leave for no more than three weeks at any time (maximum period of six weeks per year) you can appoint an Acting Manager as cover, however you can't use an Acting Manager for longer periods.

  • Cancellation of manager appointment - if a duty manager has stopped working at your premises.

Please note: You'll need to complete a separate form for each duty manager.
