Tribunals Amalgamation Bill 2014
On Wednesday, 3 December 2014, the government introduced the Tribunals Amalgamation Bill 2014 into the Senate.
If passed, the bill will merge the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), the Social Security Appeals Tribunal (SSAT) and the Migration Review Tribunal and Refugee Review Tribunal (MRT-RRT) into a single amalgamated tribunal.
The amalgamated tribunal would be established under the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 (AAT Act), and would be called the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). Click here to see the Bill.
