Completing an application online

Before you begin using the online form, make sure you have your documents ready. This includes the decision(s) you want the Tribunal to review and any other documents you want to send us with your application. The decision should set out important information about your review rights, including the time limit for applying to the Tribunal for review.

Please be aware that, if you are lodging the application on the last day of a time limit, the application must be received by the Tribunal no later than:

midnight local time if you are lodging from a location within Australia, or
midnight Australian Capital Territory local time, if lodging from outside Australia.

If you are unable to complete your application in one session, you can save what you have done and return to it later by selecting the Save for Later button.

Can this form be used to apply for a review of more than one decision at the same time?

An individual or organisation can use this online form to apply for a review of more than one decision at the same time, if the decisions are related. If the decisions are not related, you need to make separate online applications for each decision.

You cannot use the online form to apply for a review on behalf of more than one individual or organisation at the same time. You must use a separate online form for each person or organisation in relation to the decision that affects them.

If more than one person wants to apply for review of the same decision(s), the application must be lodged in person, by post, or by email.

Time Limits

If the time limit has expired, you may be able to use this online form to apply for an extension of time to make your application. We can extend time limits in some cases. Visit the National Disability Insurance Scheme page on our website for more information about time limits.

Fees

There is no fee payable for reviews of National Disability Insurance Scheme decisions.

Does the decision continue to operate if I apply for a review?

Yes, a decision usually continues to operate while it is being reviewed by the Tribunal. In some cases, the Tribunal can order that the decision be suspended (or ‘stayed’) while the review takes place.

If you want to ask the Tribunal to suspend the operation of the decision, you must fill out a Request for Stay Order form. You can upload the completed form on the Documents page of the online application form. Alternatively, you can lodge the form in person by post or email.
