Medicines and Poisons Act 2019

The chief executive must, within 28 days after receiving an application for internal review of an original decision—

review the original decision; and

decide to—

confirm the original decision; or

amend the original decision; or

substitute another decision for the original decision; and

give the affected person for the original decision a QCAT information notice for the decision under paragraph (b).

The chief executive and the affected person may, before the period stated in subsection (1) ends, agree to a longer period for the chief executive to comply with the subsection.

The application may be dealt with only by a person who—

did not make the original decision; and

holds a more senior office than the person who made the original decision.

Subsection (3) does not apply to an original decision made by the chief executive personally.

If the chief executive does not give the affected person a QCAT information notice within the period required under subsection (1) or a longer period agreed under subsection (2), the chief executive is taken to confirm the original decision.
