Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

When you are part of a care and protection resource panel, you are on a special team. This team is like a statutory board, which is a group that the government says is official. The government decided this by looking at the Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951.

You can get paid for being on this team, and this money comes from funds that Parliament set aside for this purpose. You might get fees, a salary, or allowances, and you can also get money for travelling and other expenses. The rules for how much you can get are in the Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951, and those rules apply to you.
