Request for review

The Inspector-General is responsible for dealing with reviews of certain decisions made by trustees in bankruptcy, including the Official Trustee, under the Bankruptcy Act 1966.

The decisions that can be reviewed are:

  1. Filing a notice of objection to discharge
  2. Issuing an income contribution assessment
  3. Deciding on or refusing to consider a hardship application with respect to an income contribution assessment
  4. Using a supervised bank account to collect income contributions
  5. Paying trustee’s remuneration and third party costs

Review decisions made by the Inspector-General can be further appealed to the Administrative Review Tribunal in certain circumstances.

The Inspector-General does not, however, have the authority to review other decisions made by trustees such as selling an asset or admitting or rejecting a proof of debt. These decisions can only be reviewed by the Federal Court.
