The Tribunal’s 2018/2019 Annual Integrated Report – which marks 20 years of reporting -- has been tabled in Parliament and is now available online.
This is the 20th edition of the Tribunal’s Annual Report and the sixth Annual Integrated Report. The first report was produced in the 1999/2000 financial year.
The Tribunal has adopted a user-friendly form of reporting, having moved away from detailed narratives towards increased use of infographics which support the narrative. This makes the report more relevant, more engaging and easier to read.
The 2018/2019 Annual Integrated Report retains the basic structure as in prior years and provides a holistic view of the Tribunal’s operations, including sections on how the organisation performed during the period under review, governance in the Tribunal and how effectively it uses its financial resources.
The Annual Integrated Report also unpacks annual financial statements as well as cases heard during the reporting period.
Accessing the annual reportThe Annual Report is available on the Tribunal’s website (pdf format) at: 2018/2019 Annual Report.
