Many BLA decisions can be reviewed by VCAT. You can apply to VCAT to review a relevant BLA decision within 28 days of the date of the decision.
The Register of Professional Engineers and the online public register reflect the BLA decision pending the outcome of the review, unless VCAT suspends the BLA decision until the end of the review proceedings.
