Members will be required to make a substantial commitment in terms of time and expertise to ensure the Committee fulfils its statutory obligations. This includes meeting twice per month.
Eligible Committee members will be remunerated and, where applicable, travelling costs will be reimbursed. Committee members who are full time public sector employees are not eligible for remuneration.
