Superannuation Legislation (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Act 2011

A person affected by a decision of CSC who is dissatisfied with the decision may request, in writing, that CSC reconsider the decision.

The request must be made within 30 days of being notified of the decision or within such further period as CSC allows.

The request must set out the reasons for making it.

After receiving a request for reconsideration of a decision, CSC must:

refer the decision to a Reconsideration Advisory Committee for the Committee to make recommendations to CSC in relation to the decision; or

refer the decision to a Reconsideration Advisory Committee for the Committee to reconsider the decision; or

reconsider the decision itself.

If CSC reconsiders a decision, it may:

confirm the decision; or

vary the decision; or

set aside the decision and substitute a new decision.

If CSC reconsiders a decision, CSC must, by notice in writing given to the person who made the request, inform the person of the result of the reconsideration of the decision and the reasons for the result.
