To apply for a reconsideration, you must first complete the Request for reconsideration of a reviewable decision form. 

A responsible person must sign the declaration on the form to confirm that all the information and supporting documentation you have provided is true and correct.  

In section 3 of the form, you need to select the type of registration decision you want us to reconsider. You can find information about the types of registration, and the decisions that relate to them, in Table 1. The next form you will need to complete will depend on the type of registration decision you choose. 

You can select more than one type if you need to. For example, you might want us to reconsider:

  • a decision not to register your organisation for a specific category, and
  • a decision to impose conditions on your registration in another category. 

In this case, you will need to complete 2 more forms.
