Other complaint handling review agencies
In some cases, it may be more appropriate for your complaint to be investigated by the Privacy Commissioner who investigates complaints about breaches of privacy; the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission which investigates complaints about discrimination because of race, sex or disability; or one of the other avenues of Commonwealth administrative review which includes the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, the Social Security Appeals Tribunal, the Veterans' Review Board, the Migration Review Tribunal and the Refugee Review Tribunal. Each of these agencies can review the merits of an agency's decision, and they also have the power to change a decision.
