6  Assessment of application
 (1) On receiving an application, the Commissioner must arrange for an internal review of the reviewable decision unless the Commissioner is satisfied that an internal review is not appropriate in the circumstances.
Note: Circumstances in which an internal review might not be appropriate include:
               * where the reviewable decision was made by the Commissioner directly rather than by a delegate; or
               * where specific independent expertise is needed to evaluate the merit of the decision.
 (2) If the Commissioner is satisfied that internal review is not appropriate, the Commissioner must inform the applicant of that fact and reject the application and, where appropriate, invite the applicant to apply directly to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
