The NSRT is established for the purpose of providing an independent mechanism for the resolution of disputes arising from:
- Access to surface land in Nunavut;

The Nunavut Waters and Nunavut Surface Rights Tribunal Act provides that the NSRT is an Institution of Public Government but is not an agent of the Government of Canada.
