‘One APS Career … Thousands of Opportunities’

The MRT and the RRT are established under the Migration Act 1958 to review visa and visa-related decisions made within the Immigration and Citizenship portfolio. The Tribunals’ objective is to provide reviews that are fair, just, economical, informal and quick. We aim to make the correct decision in individual cases, and to influence decision-making through the quality and consistency of our decisions.

The Tribunals comprise Members, who are appointed by the Governor-General as statutory office holders under the Migration Act, and officers, who are appointed under the Migration Act and engaged under the Public Service Act 1999.

The work of the Tribunals is challenging and stimulating and the remuneration and conditions are competitive with other similar bodies. The MRT and the RRT operate together and all Members and officers are appointed to both Tribunals. All Members and officers are expected and encouraged to participate in development and training activities. The Tribunals are committed to a safe and participative working environment that values and utilises the contributions of Members and officers from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.

Officers are expected to uphold and abide by the Australian Public Service (APS) Values and Code of Conduct. Most officers are employed under the terms and conditions contained in the MRT-RRT Certified Agreement 2005-08.
