His two-year appointment will then transition to the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) when the new body commences.

The 22 new members were also appointed for two years to boost the capacity of the AAT, including to deal with its significant protection visa and other migration-related caseloads.

A further 63 members were reappointed on a short-term basis until June 2024, including 59 member-level positions, two senior members and two deputy presidents, Jan Redfern and Ian Molloy.

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said the reappointments “ensure the stable and ongoing operation of the AAT during the period of transition”.

“On behalf of the government, I congratulate everyone on their appointment to the AAT,” Mr Dreyfus said.
