Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request regarding
Disciplinary Panel
We refer to your OIA request of 23 June 2026.
Your request
You have asked for:
• Could you please provide a biography for each listed member, if available?
Additionally, I’d like to know their term of appointment, including start and end
dates.
• Could you also confirm the pay rates for the Disciplinary Panel roles (Chair,
Deputy Chair, and Members)? Further, please provide the total payments
received by each member since their appointment. I understand there may be
privacy considerations, so I’m happy for this information to be presented
anonymously (e.g., “Member 1 received X amount,” “Member 2 received X
amount”).
• Final y, could you clarify the GST implications? Specifically, do any of the
Chair, Deputy Chair, or Members submit invoices that include GST? If so, how
many individuals do so?
