125: Remuneration and expenses of members

You could also call this:

"Pay for people on the review panel"

Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

When you are a member of the review panel, your pay is decided in different ways. If you are a District Court Judge or a Judge of the High Court, the Remuneration Authority decides your pay for being on the review panel. You get paid for being on the panel, but how much you get paid is decided by the Remuneration Authority.

If you are not a judge, you get paid fees and expenses according to a framework set by the Government. This framework tells you how much you can get paid for being on the review panel. The Government decides this framework from time to time.

When you are on the review panel, you are not considered to be working for the Crown, which means you are not affected by the Public Service Act 2020 or the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 just because you are on the panel. This is important to know because it affects your employment status. You are only on the panel to do a specific job, and that does not make you a Crown employee.
