Part 9 Client services Under clause 15A of the Constitution (Disclosures by Members) Regulation 1983, you must disclose the details set out in Part 9 of the return if you have provided "client services" at any time during the ordinary return period. Client services are provided by you if: (a) you are engaged by a person (whether an individual or corporation) to provide services to or on behalf of any of that person's clients, and (b) that person has received or is reasonably expected to receive consideration in money or money's worth from the client for your services, and (c) the services relate to your Parliamentary position. You are engaged by a person (whether an individual or corporation) to provide services if you provide services in connection with: (a) any contract of employment with the person, or (b) your role as an officer of the person (such as a corporation), or (c) any other contract, agreement or arrangement that you have entered into with the person in respect of which you receive consideration in money, or money's worth, for providing the services. Services relate to your Parliamentary position if the services "arise from or relate to the use of" your position as a Member. This includes (but is not limited to) where you engage in: (a) the provision of public policy advice, or (b) the development of strategies or the provision of advice on the conduct of relations with the Government or Members, or (c) lobbying the Government or other Members on a matter of concern to the person to whom the service is provided.

You must make a separate entry in Part 9 of the return for each person who directly receives the benefit of your services. You must also disclose who receives the benefit of your services if the client of the person who engages you requests that the services be provided to some other person. For example, if you are employed by, or are a director of Company X, and Company X contracts with Person Y for you to provide consultancy services to Company Z, you must disclose the provision of client services to both Person Y and Company Z. Please note, your engagement with a person to provide client services should be disclosed in Part 2 of the return.

SECTION 1—GUIDANCE NOTES AND EXAMPLES 1 A supplementary ordinary return is designed to update the pecuniary interests disclosed in the ordinary return or primary return last filed by you that covered the return period ending on 30 June last year. Specifically, the purpose of this form is for you to identify additional pecuniary interests for the period 1 July to 31 December of last year. The return must generally be filed by 31 March. Certain interests do not need to be disclosed if they have been disclosed in your most recent ordinary return or primary return. 2 In the case of new Members (other than re-elected Members) who have not yet filed an ordinary return, your primary return is to be treated as your most recent ordinary return for the purposes of completing this supplementary ordinary return. It should also be noted that new Members do not need to disclose anything that occurred, or was received or had, before the date on which the pledge of loyalty was taken. Also, as a result of this, some new Members will have a supplementary ordinary return period that is shorter than the period 1 July to 31 December of last year. 3 Additional pecuniary interests must be disclosed where, during the supplementary ordinary return period, you have: (a) held any interests in real property, which are additional to those already disclosed in your most recent return, or (b) received income from any source, or (c) received any gifts or contributions to travel, or (d) held any interests or positions in corporations, which are additional to those already disclosed in your most recent return, or (e) held any positions in trade unions or professional or business associations, which are additional to those already disclosed in your most recent ordinary return, or (f) incurred a liability to pay a debt to any person, which is additional to those already disclosed in your most recent ordinary return, or (g) had any dispositions of property (within the meaning of Part 3 of the Constitution (Disclosures by Members) Regulation 1983) in which you have retained a benefit, or (h) provided any "client services". 4 Complete either Division A or Division B of the return, but not both. Division A must only be completed where, in respect of the supplementary ordinary return period last year, you do not have any additional pecuniary interests to disclose as required by the Constitution (Disclosures by Members) Regulation 1983. Division B must only be completed if you have additional pecuniary interests set out in item 3 (a) to (h) of these notes in respect of the supplementary ordinary return period last year.
