Social Security (Administration) Act 1999

If a person (the decision‑maker) gives another person notice under section 136, the notice must include:

a statement to the effect that the other person may, subject to the social security law and the ART Act, apply to the ART for review of the decision‑maker’s decision; and

a statement about the decision‑maker’s decision that:

sets out the reasons for the decision; and

sets out the findings by the decision‑maker on material questions of fact; and

refers to the evidence or other material on which those findings were based.

A contravention of subsection (1) in relation to notice of a decision does not affect the validity of the decision.

Paragraph (1)(a) does not apply in relation to a decision that is not reviewable by the ART (see section 144).
