You must complete fields or questions marked with  *

If you do not wish or are unable to complete this form online, other ways you can apply can be found on our website.

Privacy and Your Personal Information

We collect information about you to process your application and carry out the review under the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024 or the law under which the decision was made.

In making an application for review, you consent to the collection of personal information about you from the organisation or person who made the decision, any other party to the review, or a relevant person or body, where collecting the information is reasonably necessary to carry out the review.

We will give a copy of your application form to the organisation or person who made the decision and any other party to the review. We may also inform a person whose interests are affected by the decision about your application.

We will usually give a copy of any relevant document given to us by you, or anyone else, to the other parties to the review for the purposes of the review.

The information we collect may also be used for the purpose of another review involving you, if it is reasonably necessary to do so, or to improve our services.

Information available to the public

Limited information about certain cases before the Tribunal can be accessed using   eCase Search  on our website and may be made available to the public on request, unless a  law or Tribunal order requires the information to be kept confidential. This information includes the names of the parties and any representatives, the type of application, dates of case events, a list of key documents lodged by the parties and the outcome of the application. For some cases, the Tribunal may, on request, give members of the public access to evidence (exhibits) given to the Tribunal for a hearing.

If the Tribunal makes a written decision with a statement of reasons, it will usually be made public and published on the internet, including on the AustLII website ( www.austlii.edu.au). For more information about the decisions we publish, see our Publication of Decisions Policy on our website.

Orders and laws restricting publication or disclosure

The Tribunal may make orders restricting disclosure or publication of information about you or others or evidence in a review, if it considers an order is appropriate in the circumstances. You can apply for an order by writing to us stating what information you want kept confidential and why.

In some cases, a law or the Tribunal’s Practice Directions require that certain information be kept confidential or that hearings be held in private. This includes information about certain Intelligence and Security proceedings, the identity of parties in certain Taxation, Protection visa related, Social Services or Child Support proceedings, and the identity of children in National Disability Insurance Scheme cases.

For more information, including how you can access information we hold about you and how to make privacy complaints, see our Privacy Policy on our website www.art.gov.au, or call us on 1800 228 333.
