Judicial membership
The President of the State Administrative Tribunal is a Supreme Court judge and the two deputy presidents are District Court judges.
Their role is to ensure the effective functioning and independence of the Tribunal, and to resolve difficult questions of fact and law. They appear on cases where a senior legal presence is required.
They are appointed for a period of up to five years.
Non-judicial membership
Many decisions of the SAT are determined by non-judicial members, on their own or in conjunction with other judicial and non-judicial members.
Members may be experienced in law or may be experienced in, or have special knowledge of, relevant professions, occupations and fields in which the SAT makes decisions.
Members may be permanent or sessional and may be appointed for up to five years.
In country areas, magistrates may represent the SAT in specified cases.
Staff
The Tribunal is supported by an Executive Officer and around 55 full-time staff.
