How Panels 1 to 4 are appointed

To comply with the legislation the MHC establishes four panels for no longer than five years (except of the panel of legal representatives) for a period not exceeding three (3) years. 

In the fifth year the MHC recruits members for the panels. They advertise on the MHC's website, national media, websites and journals of relevant professional bodies and various other platforms.  

Applicants must to go through an application, selection and interview process. Current panel members who want to reapply go through the same process as new applicants. Successful candidates must provide references, complete security clearance and take part in compulsory training before they can be appointed.    

The appointment process is competitive and appointments are awarded on a contract for services basis. Panel members are not employees of the MHC. 

The current panels are in place from 1 November 2022 to 31 October 2027.
