| The Remuneration Act was enacted in 1990
to establish a Tribunal which would determine the remuneration payable
to members of the judiciary and the remuneration or part of the remuneration
payable in respect of certain other offices.
The Tribunal consists of three members appointed by the Governor on
the nomination of the Minister responsible for the Act. The Minister
responsible for the Remuneration Act is currently the Premier. Other
offices for which the Tribunal determines remuneration include:
• Statutory Officers, and
• Parliamentary Members
The Tribunal must sit at least once in each year for the purpose of
determining, or reviewing previous determinations of, remuneration
under the Act.
Before making a determination affecting remuneration the Tribunal
must allow that person, or persons affected, a reasonable opportunity
to make submissions to the Tribunal. The Minister responsible, personally
or by counsel or other representative, may intervene for the purpose
of introducing evidence or making submissions on any question relevant
to public interest. The Tribunal also invites members of the public
to make written submissions on major reviews (Refer to the News page
for further information).
Determinations made by the Tribunal are binding and are not subject
to appeal.
