Appendix 1 – Membership

The tribunals’ members make decisions on applications for review. The members are appointed under the Migration Act 1958 by the Governor-General for fixed terms on a full-time or part-time basis. The Remuneration Tribunal determines the remuneration arrangements for members.

While there are no mandatory qualifications for the appointment of members, persons appointed as members to the tribunals have typically worked in a profession or have had extensive experience at senior levels in the private or public sectors. Member biographies are available on the tribunals’ website.

A list of members and their appointment periods as at 1 July 2010 is set out below.

The first appointment date reflects the date from which there has been continuing appointments to the MRT, the RRT or both tribunals.
