Constitution of The Tribunal
The tribunal is established under the Guardianship Act 1987 (NSW) (which was formerly called the Disability Services and Guardianship Act 1987 (NSW)). The tribunal comprises a president, a deputy president and at least ten tribunal members appointed by the Governor of New South Wales. There are currently more than ten members appointed.
