The Australian Human Rights Commission has welcomed the passage in the Senate today of the Australian Human Rights Commission Legislation Amendment (Selection and Appointment) Bill 2022.
The Bill ensures Commissioner appointments are publicly advertised and subject to an open, transparent and merit-based process, in line with our international commitments.
It removes the possibility of direct appointments. It also establishes that the total term of appointment of Commissioners, including any reappointments, should not exceed seven years.
