Celebrating 24 years in Legal Practice
Stay connected with Navado:

Administrative law is the body of law that regulates Government decision making. The powers of a Government department are found in legislation and regulations and the exercise of these powers must be in accordance with these instruments.

If a Government department or regulatory authority makes a decision against your interests, there may be grounds available to dispute the decision. There are a number of different avenues available to challenge a decision including, but not limited to:

  • Internal Agency Practices—including codes of conduct and alternative dispute resolution;
  • Merits Review—by Government agencies and Tribunals (Commonwealth Administrative Appeals Tribunal and NCAT);
  • Judicial Review—conducted by the courts (Federal Court and Supreme Court).
