This document outlines the process once the ART has finalised a review of a Child Support decision.

Decision received from the ART

Once a decision is made, the ART will notify the customers within 14 days of the date of the decision. The ART will email Child Support a copy of the decision within 24 hours of the decision being sent to the parties.

The ART can:

  • vary the decision
  • dismiss the application
  • set the decision aside and substitute a new decision
  • affirm the decision
  • set the decision aside and send back for reconsideration, or
  • set the decision aside – s103 (ART Act) - Powers of ART if parties reach an agreement. A s103 has the effect of affirming, varying or setting aside a decision. Process the decision accordingly
