Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024

Each of the following are parties to a proceeding for review by the Tribunal of a decision:

the applicant for the review;

the decision‑maker;

any other person, if:

the person applies to the Tribunal to become a party to the proceeding; and

the Tribunal is satisfied that the person’s interests are affected by the decision; and

the Tribunal considers it appropriate that the person become a party to the proceeding.

In addition, the Attorney‑General of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory is a party to a proceeding in certain circumstances (see sections 59 and 93).

This section is subject to sections 65 (certain parties may seek to withdraw from being a party) and 83 (Tribunal may remove party from proceeding if party fails to appear or does not comply).

If a person becomes a party to a proceeding under paragraph (1)(c), the Tribunal must give written notice to the other parties to the proceeding.
