80 How complaints are closed
(1) The commission closes a complaint by giving a written report
(the final report) to—
(a) the complainant; and
(b) the respondent; and
(c) if the complaint was referred to the commission by—
(i) a national board established under the Health Practitioner
Regulation National Law (ACT), section 31—the national
board; or
(ii) the veterinary practitioners board—the board.
Note 1 If the complaint is dealt with by commission-initiated consideration, the
commission cannot give the complainant information about the aggrieved
person (see s 49).
Note 2 For how documents may be served, see the Legislation Act, pt 19.5.
(2) However, the commission must not include an adverse comment in
relation to a person in the final report unless the commission has given
the person a reasonable opportunity to respond to the proposed
comment.
(3) The commission need not give a final report to close a
commission-initiated consideration.
