The 22 new members were also appointed for two years to boost the capacity of the AAT, including to deal with its significant protection visa and other migration-related caseloads.

A further 63 members were reappointed on a short-term basis until June 2024, including 59 member-level positions, two senior members and two deputy presidents, Jan Redfern and Ian Molloy.

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said the reappointments “ensure the stable and ongoing operation of the AAT during the period of transition”.
