This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Parliament Bill

Salaries, allowances, expenses, and services for members and others - Salaries, allowances, and certain expenses determined by Remuneration Authority - Requirements applicable to determinations about travel and accommodation expenses

76: How frequently determination must be made

You could also call this:

"The Remuneration Authority makes a new decision at the start of each term of Parliament."

The Remuneration Authority has to make a decision about something once in each term of Parliament. You will see this decision happen at the start of each new term. The decision stays in place until a new one is made. The Remuneration Authority must talk to the Speaker and the Minister Responsible for Ministerial Services at the beginning of each term. They discuss when the decision will be made for that term. This is an important part of the process. A decision made by the Remuneration Authority stays in force until it is replaced by a new one made in accordance with subsection (1). This means the new decision will follow the same rules as the first one. You can expect to see a new decision made in each term of Parliament.
