Appendix B - Membership

The tribunals’ members make decisions on applications for review. Members are appointed under the Migration Act 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 sector.

A list of members and their appointment periods as at 30 June 2014 is set out in Table 20. The first appointment date reflects the date from which there have been continuing appointments to the MRT, the RRT, or both tribunals.
