My understanding is that the Civil Aviation Safety Authority is a;
“
Corporate Commonwealth Entity”, and it does not engage staff under the Public Service Act.
Both bits of information from the following link.

The Civil Aviation Act States;
Part II—Establishment, functions etc. of CASA8 Establishment of CASA
(1) An authority called the Civil Aviation Safety Authority is established by this subsection.
(2) CASA:
(a) is a body corporate with perpetual succession; (b) shall have a seal; and (c) may sue and be sued in its corporate name.
Note: The Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 applies to the CASA. That Act deals with matters relating to corporate Commonwealth entities, including reporting and the use and management of public resources.""
Am I correct to assume “they aren’t bound to act appropriately, only to use public funds appropriately” ?
