Appeal Process

Appealing a decision

The Department may reconsider a decision if the applicant can demonstrate a proven conflict of interest, error in process or discrimination.

If applicants have reason to believe that the proper process was not followed in assessment of an application, a request for review may be submitted.

Grounds for appeal are:

  1. The persons making the decision had a direct or indirect financial interest in the outcome of the application.
  2. The preparation of the application was affected adversely by incorrect advice provided by a staff member of the Department of Premier and Cabinet.
  3. The persons making the recommendations discriminated against the applicant on irrelevant grounds, such as cultural, religious or linguistic background; race; gender; marital status; sexual orientation; or disability.

All requests must be in writing to the contact details shown in these guidelines or to the Manager, Community Grants by email to grants@dpac.tas.gov.au.

Your request must be received within 28 days from the date of the Department notifying you of the decision about your application.
