The Australian Government has formally responded to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee’s report on the Administrative Review Tribunal (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2024 that was tabled on 31 October 2024. The Government’s response was tabled on 7 May 2026 — over a year after the Act received Royal Assent on 20 February 2025.
The Bill, which passed Parliament on 12 February 2025, amended 52 Commonwealth Acts to update references from the former Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) to the new Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), and introduced technical amendments to support efficient Tribunal review operations.
