Paid Parental Leave Act 2010

This section applies to a decision of an officer under this Act, unless the decision is:

a decision under Part 3‑2 (which deals with the payment of instalments by employer); or

a decision under Part 3‑5 (which deals with employer determinations); or

a decision under Chapter 3A (which deals with PPL superannuation contributions); or

a decision under Part 4‑2 (which deals with compliance); or

a decision under the PPL rules, if the PPL rules state that this section does not apply to the decision; or

a decision under the regulations, if the regulations state that this section does not apply to the decision.

A reference in subsection (1) to a decision of an officer under this Act includes a reference to a determination that the Secretary is taken, because of a provision of this Act, to have made.

A decision to which this section applies is a claimant decision.

A person whose interests are affected by a claimant decision may apply to the Secretary for review of the decision, unless the decision was made personally by a PPL agency representative.

An application under subsection (4) may only be made:

within 28 days after the day the decision was made; or

if the Secretary is satisfied that a longer period should apply—within the longer period.

A person cannot make an application under subsection (4) in the person’s capacity as an employer.
