  Deputy President Andrew Bell is a member of the Fair Work Commission, based in Victoria. He has been a member of the Commission in that role since taking office in January 2022. Since 2025, he had also performed the administrative role of Deputy Regional Coordinator. Prior to his appointment at the Commission, he was barrister at the Victorian Bar, where he had practised since 2010 primarily in industrial relations and employment law.

  
  

  Joel Zyngier, Gilchrist Connell

  Joel is the national head of Gilchrist Connell’s Workplace practice. He has extensive experience in workplace relations and safety law, and in 2012 was certified by the Law Institute of Victoria as an Accredited Specialist in Workplace Relations. Joel advises and represents employers and senior executives across all types of employment law matters. He also acts for employers and individuals in response to investigations and prosecutions by work health and safety regulators. However, notwithstanding his extensive experience as a Workplace lawyer, Joel’s most vigorous negotiation opponents to date remain his teenage daughters.
