The Australian Government has made 18 new appointments to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). These appointments include four Senior Members and 14 Members.
The 18 appointees will initially commence their terms at the AAT to ensure it maintains capacity to hear matters in the period prior to commencement of the new Administrative Review Tribunal (ART).
Each appointee will transition to the ART when it commences on 14 October 2024.
Each of these members was assessed as suitable for appointment by an independent selection panel through a transparent and merit-based process, conducted in accordance with the Guidelines for appointments to the AAT and closely informed by requirements set out in the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024.
On behalf of the Government, I congratulate each of these members on their appointment to the AAT.
The Government will announce further appointments to the AAT and the ART in due course.
