97: Review of decisions

You could also call this:

"Checking decisions made about you under the Animal Welfare Act"

If someone makes a decision about you under sections like section 85, section 86, section 91, or section 96 and they are acting for the Director-General, you can ask the Director-General to review that decision. You can do this if you are seeking approval or already have approval under section 85. The same applies if you are an applicant or a code holder.

If the Director-General makes a decision about you under those same sections, you can ask the Minister to review the decision. This applies to you if you are seeking approval or already have approval under section 85. It also applies if you are an applicant or a code holder, and you want the Minister to look at the decision again.
