Australian Capital Territory
Remuneration Tribunal (Fees and Allowances of Members) Determination 2018
Disallowable instrument DI2018–108
made under the  
Remuneration Tribunal Act 1995, section 20 (Determination of fees and allowances of members)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Legislative Context

The Remuneration Tribunal Act 1995 (the Act) established the Remuneration Tribunal (the Tribunal).  The Tribunal may be constituted by the appointment of one member and may consist of not more than three members.  Where more than one member is appointed, a member is appointed to be the chairperson.

Under section 20 of the Act, the Chief Minister may determine the fees and allowances payable to members of the Tribunal.

Background

The remuneration increase maintains appropriate relativity with similar 
part-time public office holders in the ACT public sector, and to some extent, with similar tribunals elsewhere in Australia. 

Decision

This instrument adjusts the level of remuneration payable to the members of the Tribunal to the following amounts:
•	Chair: $30,146 per annum; and 
•	Members: $18,100 per annum. 

Other entitlements and allowances are consistent with all other ACT Part-time Public Office Holders.
