Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if the Minister reasonably believes that it is necessary to urgently appoint an individual as a member of a professional panel of assessors because—

(b) the secretary or principal registrar has advised the Minister that—
(i) none of the panel members have the desirable professional background or skills; or
(ii) panel members who do have the desirable professional background or skills will not be available to hear the matter.
(2) Despite section 40(1), the Minister may appoint an individual to a professional panel of assessors for a period of not more than 6 months.
(3) An individual is qualified for appointment to a panel under this section only if the individual is qualified for appointment to the panel under section 40(4).
