ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
Administrative law is the area of law that regulates some government decision-making and the interpretation of laws.
An administrative law dispute arises when someone seeks to challenge a decision made by a regulatory authority or government department. This might be a decision to refuse an application you have lodged or cancel an existing licence or registration. If you are adversely affected by this decision, or you think it has been unfairly made, you can apply to have the decision formally reviewed.
Administrative law processes appear in many areas of ordinary life but navigating them can be complex and daunting. Examples of administrative law processes include freedom of information requests, access to records including health records, and having Centrelink decisions reviewed.
