You could also call this:

"How long you can be on the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee"

When you are appointed to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee, you are chosen by the Minister. You will see your appointment in the Gazette. You will be on the committee for a certain time, up to three years, which the Minister decides. You start your job from the date your appointment is published in the Gazette, or from a later date if that is specified.

If you are already on the committee, you can stay until someone else is appointed to take your place, unless you leave the committee sooner, as stated in clause 2 of Schedule 1. You can be reappointed to the committee again and again. The Minister decides how long you will be on the committee, but it will not be more than three years at a time.
