This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Determination sets salaries, allowances, superannuation and work benefits for federal judges and tribunal members (including High Court, Federal Court, Family Court, AAT and related bodies). It establishes full‑ and part‑time pay rules (with day‑rate calculations for part‑time AAT members), employer super contributions, travel/car entitlements, and how total remuneration is calculated for cost‑to‑government.
It also preserves transitional pay/conditions for certain pre‑2015 AAT appointments and limits part‑timers from exceeding full‑time equivalents.
