Queensland Treasury has issued the revised Guidelines for Machinery of Government (MOG) changes. Please complete and sign the Machinery of Government transfer sign-off form and return it to your Treasury Analyst once the transfer amounts have been agreed.

Primarily, a MOG change is the formal transfer of functions from one department to another. Although these guidelines focus on the official MOG changes to departmental functions, the principles may also be applied to other Government directed transfers such as functions transferred to, from or between statutory bodies or Government Owned Corporations.

An example is available to assist departments completing the MOG transfer sign-off form. The example is located on Treasury’s Tridata web page under ‘Support’ and then ‘Downloads’.

Gifts or benefits accepted by a public service employee remain the property of the agency unless the accountable officer for the agency determines it is appropriate for the recipient to retain the gift or benefit. Employees must declare given or received gifts and benefits and the agency must ensure that reportable gifts or benefits have been declared and published online within reportable timeframes.

The Under Treasurer’s Register shows gifts and benefits valued at more than $150 that have been given and received by Queensland Treasury and agency employees in a financial year. Items of cultural significance have been reported regardless of their value. The register is updated each quarter.
