ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008

An application to the tribunal must—

comply with the rules; and

be in writing, whether with or without a registrar’s help; and

state the reasons for making the application; and

be lodged at the tribunal registry.

An application to the tribunal for review of a decision must be made by a person within 28 days after the day the decision to be reviewed is made.

The rules may prescribe a longer period for making the application (see s 25 (1) (e) and (2)).

However—

if notice of the decision is given to the person later than 5 days after the day the decision is made—the application may be made within 28 days after the day the notice is given; and

if notice of the decision is required to be given to the person under this Act or an authorising law, but is not given—the application may be made within 28 days after the day the person becomes aware of the decision; and

if the decision is taken to have been made under section 12 (When no action taken to be decision)—the application may be made within 28 days after the end of the period or reasonable period mentioned in the section.
