ATTACHMENT B
Review Rights
If you are dissatisfied with my decision, you may apply for an internal review or Information
Commissioner review of the decision. We encourage you to seek an internal review, in the first
instance, as it may provide a more rapid resolution of your concerns.
Internal review
Under section 54 of the FOI Act, you may apply in writing to the ATSB for an internal review of my
decision. The internal review application must be made within 30 days after the date of receipt of
this letter.
The internal review will be carried out by another decision maker, usually someone at a more senior
level, who will make a completely fresh decision on the merits of the case. While a specific form is
not required, it would assist the decision maker if your application specifies the grounds on which
you consider the decision should be reviewed.
Application for a review of a decision should be addressed to:
Freedom of Information Coordinator
Australian Transport Safety Bureau
GPO Box 321
Canberra ACT 2601

or by email to: xxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xx

the right to apply for review of my decision by the Information Commissioner. An application for
review by the Information Commissioner must be made in writing within 60 days of the receipt of
this letter, and be lodged in one of the fol owing ways:
