Administrative law deals with decisions made by government departments, regulators, and public bodies. It ensures those decisions follow legal processes and do not exceed the authority granted by legislation.
Common examples include NDIS refusals, blue card and WWCC negative notices, disciplinary proceedings, and judicial reviews. The law that governs a decision determines whether it can be reviewed.
Possibly. Some decisions can be reviewed by a tribunal such as the ART. Others may only be challenged through judicial review in the courts. A lawyer can help you assess whether the decision was legally flawed and what steps are available.
Time limits vary. Sometimes, you may have as little as 7 to 28 days to lodge a review or appeal. it is important to get legal advice immediately after receiving a decision notice.
Tribunal (merits) review looks at the facts and can substitute a new decision. Judicial review does not reassess the facts; it examines whether the original decision-maker followed the law. Both have different procedures and outcomes.
