Some decisions that affect your plan will be reviewed by the Tribunal automatically, as part of an existing external review.
If you’re unhappy with our internal review decision and have applied for an external review, the Tribunal will review the original decision. This is the decision reviewed by the internal reviewer. But they will also review any later decisions made after you applied to the Tribunal that either approve a new plan or vary your plan.
Example
Tim is an NDIS participant and is unhappy with our internal review decision. Tim applies to the Tribunal for an external review on 1 July 2022.
Any later decisions to approve a new plan or vary Tim’s existing plan, made after 1 July 2022, will be included in the Tribunal’s external review.
This means that the Tribunal will be able to review all decisions that have changed Tim’s plan after he applied to the Tribunal for an external review. The Tribunal will consider all plans and variations approved after Tim applied to the Tribunal. The Tribunal’s review will not be limited to the original decision, which was reviewed by the internal reviewer.
