The Remuneration Tribunal is the independent body that decides salaries for federal politicians, judges, and senior public servants.\n\n**What it covers:**\n- **Annual salaries**: The President gets $87,343 per year, while other members receive $42,250 per year\n- **Travel allowances**: When Tribunal members travel on official business (within Australia or overseas), they receive the same travel allowances as Department Secretaries—the highest-level public servants\n- **Replacement of old rules**: These regulations replaced the 2004 version\n\nEssentially, this ensures the people who decide everyone else's pay get paid themselves, and can travel for work at the same standard as the most senior government officials."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/remuneration-tribunal-members-fees-and-allowances-regulations-2005","history":"/api/acts/remuneration-tribunal-members-fees-and-allowances-regulations-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/remuneration-tribunal-members-fees-and-allowances-regulations-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/remuneration-tribunal-members-fees-and-allowances-regulations-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/remuneration-tribunal-members-fees-and-allowances-regulations-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/remuneration-tribunal-members-fees-and-allowances-regulations-2005/documents"}}
