Welcome to the website of the
Social Security Appeals Tribunal.
The Tribunal is the first level of external merits review of decisions made by Centrelink about social security, family assistance, education or training and parental leave payments. The Tribunal is also the only level of external merits review of most decisions made by the Child Support Agency.
The SSAT's statutory objective is to provide a mechanism of review that is fair, just, economical, informal and quick.
Applications for an SSAT review can be lodged with the Tribunal in writing, in person or by telephone. However please note that the paid parental leave law requires that applications lodged by employers in relation to parental leave pay must be in a particular form and must be made in writing.
