12C: Appointment of Judge as board member

You could also call this:

"A Judge can be on a board without it changing their Judge job or pay."

Illustration for Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System Act 2022

If you are a Judge and you are appointed to be a board member, it does not change your job as a Judge. You will still have the same rank, title, and pay as a Judge. Your service as a board member is considered to be part of your job as a Judge. You can find more information about this in the legislation and the Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System Act 2022. This means that being a board member does not affect your benefits or privileges as a Judge, including your superannuation. You will still be treated as a Judge while you are serving on the board.
