(3) The review by the Tribunal is a reconsideration of the matter based on the information, reports and things referred to in section 44ZZOAA.

(7) The Tribunal must: (a) give a copy of the notice to: (i) the person who applied for review; and (ii) the person who is, or expects to be, the provider of the service; and (iii) any other person who has been made a party to the proceedings for review by the Tribunal; and (b) publish, by electronic or other means, the notice. Tribunal’s decision (8) If the designated Minister decided to revoke his or her decision (the ineligibility decision) that the service is ineligible to be a declared service, the Tribunal may either: (a) affirm the designated Minister’s decision; or (b) set aside the designated Minister’s decision to revoke the ineligibility decision. (9) If the designated Minister decided not to revoke his or her ineligibility decision, the Tribunal may either: (a) affirm the designated Minister’s decision; or (b) set aside the designated Minister’s decision and revoke the ineligibility decision. Effect of Tribunal’s decision (10) If the Tribunal sets aside the designated Minister’s decision to revoke his or her ineligibility decision, the ineligibility decision is taken never to have been revoked. (11) If the Tribunal sets aside the designated Minister’s decision and revokes the ineligibility decision, the Tribunal’s decision is, for the purposes of this Part other than this section, taken to be a decision by the Minister to revoke his or her decision that the service is ineligible to be a declared service.
