Nineteen new members have been appointed to the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (TASCAT), ensuring it can continue to fulfill its important role in our justice system.
Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Guy Barnett, said the new members bring a range of expertise and experience to their roles and will work across TASCAT's range of streams.
"On behalf of the Tasmanian Government, I would like to extend my congratulations to the new members and wish them well in their important roles with TASCAT," the Attorney-General said.
"TASCAT commenced operations in November 2021 and has proven very effective in making the administration of justice more efficient and accessible.
"Since its commencement TASCAT has seen a consistently strong caseload and continues to take on additional jurisdictions.
"We are always looking at how we can improve access to justice under our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future – it is vitally important in our thriving democracy."
