(4) (a) In a school situation the expression "substantive appointment" refers to the placement of a teacher in a vacant position which is expected to be ongoing, subject to enrolment fluctuations and student subject choices, beyond the current school year.
(b) The "date of appointment" is the date on which an officer is appointed to the ACT Teaching Service; this is shown on the Appointment Certificate which the teacher receives following appointment. When a teacher is transferred to a position the commencement date for that position is shown on a Transfer Form, which is sent to the teacher (and others).
(c) A "voluntary transfer" refers to a transfer which has arisen due to a teachers voluntary application for transfer in the annual Level One Transfer Round. In this case a teacher holds a substantive position from which he/she is prepared to move.
(d) A "compulsory transfer" occurs when a teachers substantive or temporary position is no longer available due to enrolment fluctuations or changes in student subject choices. These circumstances cause the position to be either reclassified or abolished. When teachers become unattached or return from leave they also have compulsory transfer status.

(6) ACT Teaching Service teachers are permitted access to their personal files. To achieve access, a teacher should contact the Personnel Section at Manning Clark House. An appointment should be made, as a Personnel Officer must be in attendance whilst the teacher peruses the file.
