The Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office is an independent office established to provide an appeals service to those who wish to appeal the decision of the Scheme Administrator under the Health (Repayment Scheme) Act 2006.

The Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office has advised my Department, that the claimant referred to by the Deputy lodged an appeal form with the Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office on 1 October 2007 and an oral hearing took place on 19 October 2007. The Appeals Officer has referred this appeal to the Scheme Administrator for review and verification. When the Appeals Officer receives the requested information and finalises his investigations he will make a determination on this appeal and will write to the claimant and will provide the claimant with the reasons for his decision.
