sec.246 Notice of internal review decision
Within 10 days after making an internal review decision, the chief executive must give the applicant notice of the decision (the decision notice ). If the internal review decision relates to an original decision other than a seizure or forfeiture decision and is not the decision sought by the applicant, the decision notice must be accompanied by a QCAT notice for the internal review decision. If the internal review decision relates to a seizure or forfeiture decision and is not the decision sought by the applicant, the decision notice must include a notice (an appeal information notice ) stating the following— the day the notice is given to the applicant; the reasons for the internal review decision; that the applicant may, within 28 days after the notice is given, appeal against the internal review decision to the court; how to appeal; that the applicant may apply to the court for a stay of the decision. If the chief executive does not give the decision notice within the 10 days, the chief executive is taken to have made an internal review decision confirming the original decision. If the chief executive is taken, under subsection (4) or section 245 (4) , to have made an internal review decision confirming the original decision, the applicant is entitled to be given— if the original decision was a seizure or forfeiture decision—an appeal information notice; or if the original decision was another decision—a QCAT notice.
