Dependent on your speciality, tribunals require a small time commitment. Tribunal members receive remuneration for each Tribunal hearing they attend. For each
Tribunal hearing, remuneration is available for one hour of meeting preparation time and three hours of meeting time.
Applications from women, regional and interstate specialists are encouraged and virtual attendances are available if required.
