REASONS FOR DECISION

1. On 28 March 2011 the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal received an application from CB.  She works for AX Pty Ltd in a regional city of Queensland.

1. The application has sought a review of a decision by the Department of Communities (Child Safety Services) in respect of recording of a matter of concern regarding a breach of standards of care in respect of a child.

1. On 31 March 2011 the Registry of the Tribunal wrote to CB and another person at AX Pty Ltd advising that the review being sought did not constitute a review of a reviewable decision under the Child Protection Act 1999.  The applicant was invited to submit further information to the Tribunal by 15 April 2011 pending a submission to the Tribunal to consider whether the application should be dismissed.

1. No further information was provided by the applicant. The Tribunal considered the material on the file and has decided to dismiss the application pursuant to section 47 of the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2009 as there is no reviewable decision.
