213 Guide to this Part

This Part is about the review by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal of decisions that have been internally reviewed under Part 5-1, and of decisions made personally by particular PPL agency representatives (which are not subject to internal review). These reviews are called AAT first reviews.

AAT first review is available for certain claimant decisions (called AAT reviewable claimant decisions). People whose interests are affected by AAT reviewable claimant decisions may apply for AAT first review of those decisions.

AAT first review is also available for certain employer determination decisions and employer funding amount decisions (called AAT reviewable employer decisions). Employers may apply for AAT first review of AAT reviewable employer decisions.

The rules relating to review by the AAT are mainly in the AAT Act, but this Part modifies the operation of that Act in some ways for the purposes of AAT first reviews.
