REASONS FOR DECISION

1. CEM indicates that she wants her contact arrangements with CL and CL reviewed.  Her application was received by the Tribunal on 9 March 2011.

1. On 15 March 2011, she was written to by the Registry advising that the Tribunal was unable to proceed with her application until she provided a copy of the decision she wants reviewed and to demonstrate that the Department has made a decision which is subject to review by the Queensland Civil and Administration Tribunal.

1. CEM was given until 1 April 2011 to lodge any submissions. No further material has been received by CEM and the Tribunal will therefore dismiss her application under section 47 of the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2009, in that she has failed to supply a copy of the Departmental decision letter.  The Tribunal can not be satisfied that there is a reviewable decision able to be reviewed.
