OMBUDSMAN ACT 1976 - SECT 20ZR

Deciding not to investigate complaints

    The VET Student Loans Ombudsman may decide not to investigate, or not to further investigate, a complaint with respect to an action by a VET student loan scheme provider if he or she is of the opinion that:

  (a)   the complaint is frivolous or vexatious, or was not made in good faith; or

  (b)   the complainant does not have a sufficient interest in the subject matter of the complaint; or

  (c)   an investigation, or further investigation, of the action is not warranted having regard to all the circumstances; or

  (d)   the complainant has not yet raised the subject matter of the complaint with the VET student loan scheme provider; or

  (e)   the action came to the complainant's knowledge more than 3 years before the complaint was made; or

  (f)   the complainant has, or had, a right to cause the action to be reviewed by a court or by a tribunal constituted by or under an enactment but has not exercised that right.
