I am informed that applications for transfer are considered on an ongoing basis. In considering the transfer of personnel, while the overall needs of the organisation must be considered, particular consideration is given to the resourcing needs of the member’s current Division and those of the Division(s) to which they have applied to transfer to, as well as the welfare circumstances of members themselves.
