Remuneration for subcommittee and working group members is not linked to a tribunal determination. For the current remuneration rates, contact the department.
How to apply
The department will advertise MSAC EOI in its vacancies listing. The EOI will usually be part of a combined EOI for all health technology assessment advisory committees.
To apply, you may need to provide:
- a statement of claims addressing any relevant selection criteria
- a current curriculum vitae
- a completed and signed conflict of interest declaration form
- a completed private interest declaration form
- contact details of 2 referees.
Check the EOI to confirm what you need to include in your application.
The department may run targeted processes based on our and our subcommittees’ needs.
Selection process
The department:
- will assess the information you provide in your application
- may contact your referees.
Shortlisting and appointment
The department will let you know if it shortlists you for appointment to a committee. It will do some final checks before the federal health minister (or delegate) confirms an appointment.
You may need to submit extra or updated documents, such as a more recent conflict of interest declaration form.
Merit pool
The department may include suitable applicants in a merit pool, which will:
- be used to identify candidates for future committee positions
- remain current until the department runs another EOI process.
If the department includes you in a merit pool, report any change in your circumstances. This may affect your eligibility for appointment.
The department may seek candidates from outside the merit pool.
