ART appoints 44 new general members

The new general members will span a range of areas within the ART and form part of the government’s ongoing efforts to build the newly established tribunal.

Established in 2024, the ART is an independent body responsible for reviewing a broad range of government decisions affecting Australians’ everyday lives, including visas, social security, and taxation matters.

In announcing the news, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland MP shared how the appointments will bolster the tribunal’s efficiency and effectiveness, as the government continues its commitment to delivering fair, just, and timely outcomes.

“The Albanese government is committed to ensuring the Administrative Review Tribunal can hear and resolve matters in a fair, just, and timely manner,” she said.

“The appointment of new general members will assist our efforts to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the tribunal.”

Rowland also congratulated the new members on their appointments, saying each had been selected through a “transparent and merit-based process”.
