Work Health and Safety Act 2011

The internal reviewer must review the reviewable decision and make a decision as soon as is reasonably practicable and within 14 days after the application for internal review is received.

The decision may be—

to confirm or vary the reviewable decision; or

to set aside the reviewable decision and substitute another decision that the internal reviewer considers appropriate.

If the internal reviewer seeks further information from the applicant, the 14‑day period ceases to run until the applicant provides the information to the internal reviewer.

The applicant must provide the further information within the time (being not less than 7 days) specified by the internal reviewer in the request for information.

If the applicant does not provide the further information within the required time, the decision is taken to have been confirmed by the internal reviewer at the end of the required time.

If the reviewable decision is not varied or set aside within the 14‑day period, the decision is taken to have been confirmed by the internal reviewer.
