Review of actions - primary review

Information for agency HR staff

Applications for primary review of actions are lodged directly with the Merit Protection Commissioner. Where an application is received for primary review of a decision that an employee has breached the Code of Conduct, or the sanction imposed, the Commission will write to you requesting relevant information.

The Australian Public Service Commission has prepared a checklist to assist you in compiling the information required. A request for papers, including this checklist, will be sent to you by the Commission when a request for review is received.

The Commission has centralised the administration of reviews of action in their Canberra office in the Review Casework and Inquiries Section. Further information can be obtained from the Review Casework and Inquiries Section of the Commission by email to mpc.canberra@apsc.gov.au, or by phone to 02 62023849.
