If you do not agree with a decision that the ACNC has made, you have rights to have the decision looked at again.
Please contact us to discuss our decision. You can find out more about why we made the decision, and your options. If you still disagree with the decision after talking to us, you have different ways to ask for the decision to be reviewed.
Some of the review processes are more complicated than others. You do not need a lawyer to have a decision reviewed but legal advice can help you decide whether to request a review and the best way to do it.
The steps you follow to ask for a review of an ACNC decision depend on what the decision is about.
Decisions that must be internally reviewed
The ACNC Act says that some decisions must be reviewed internally before any other review options are available. We will call these 'internally reviewable decisions under the ACNC Act'.
If the ACNC decision you disagree with is one of these decisions, you must first ask for an internal review of the decision by the ACNC before you can take any other review action.
See our guidance about internally reviewable decisions under the ACNC Act for more information.
