Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973

Remuneration Tribunal (Members' Fees and Allowances) Regulations (Amendment)

Section 13 of the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973 (the Act) provides that the GovernorGeneral may make regulations for the purposes of the Act.

Section 12 of the Act provides in part that a member of the Tribunal is to be paid such fees and allowances as are prescribed.

Regulation 4 of the Remuneration Tribunal (Members' Fees and Allowances) Regulations (the Regulations) prescribes a fee to be paid to a member of the Tribunal other than the Chairman.

Until now it has not been necessary to prescribe a fee for the Chairman, who was a Supreme Court Judge. The office is now to be held by a person for whom a fee needs to be prescribed.

Regulation 3 amends the Regulations by inserting a new regulation 4A providing that the annual fee payable to the Chairman is set at the rate of $42,500.

Regulation 1 provides that the Regulations would commence on 12 February 1993, the date of appointment of the new Chairman of the Tribunal.
