Who appoints public members to the ASET Council?

The correct answer is that public members to the ASET Council are appointed by the Minister. This process is designed to ensure that the Council has representation from individuals who are not members of the association but can provide valuable perspectives and insights from the public's viewpoint. This inclusion is critical for maintaining transparency and accountability within the profession, as well as for ensuring that the interests of the public are adequately represented in decision-making processes related to the profession. Appointing public members through a ministerial process reinforces the importance of public interest in regulatory bodies and helps maintain a balance between professional oversight and public accountability.
