AAT & Federal Court Appeals

Appealing an ASQA decision.

A decision by ASQA to impose conditions, suspend or cancel your registration isn't final. Most reviewable decisions can be challenged through an application for review, and - depending on the outcome - a further appeal on a point of law to the Federal Court. Getting the review lodged within the applicable time limits, and framing the grounds correctly, is what keeps the option open.

While a review is on foot, we can also apply for a stay of the original decision, so your RTO can continue operating while the matter is being determined rather than being shut down before you've had your case heard.

  1. Lodging applications for review of ASQA decisions within the applicable time limits
  2. Stay applications to preserve your registration status pending the outcome
  3. Preparing evidence and submissions for the review hearing
  4. Appeals on questions of law to the Federal Court where a review is unsuccessful
