Appointments to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and the Administrative Review Tribunal

The Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP
Media Release

The Australian Government has made six new appointments to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and three new appointments to the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) who will form part of the inaugural membership of the ART when it commences on Monday.

Each appointee was assessed as suitable for appointment by an independent assessment panel through a transparent and merit-based process, conducted in accordance with the Guidelines for appointments to the AAT and the transitional provisions legislated in the Administrative Review Tribunal (Consequential and Transitional Provisions No. 1) Act 2024.

I congratulate each of these members on their appointment.

More information is available on the Attorney-General's website.
