Today, the Albanese Government announces three new members of the Copyright Tribunal of Australia.
Professor Michael Fraser AM, Ms Fiona Phillips, and Ms Alida Stanley have been appointed as part time, non-judicial Members of the Tribunal, each for three-year terms.
All appointees bring valuable knowledge and experience to the role and their expertise will significantly bolster the Copyright Tribunal's capacity to consider matters within its jurisdiction.
The Copyright Tribunal is an independent specialist body, established under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) that primarily hears disputes about remuneration payable to copyright collecting societies under copyright licencing schemes. Non-judicial members provide specialist expertise to assist the Copyright Tribunal in determining disputes.
The Government congratulates all new appointees who will bring valuable copyright expertise and industry knowledge to the Copyright Tribunal's work. The Government also thanks the outgoing members for their valuable service to the Tribunal.
