 (a) a matter arising under Part 3 that affects the interests of the person or entity; or
 (b) if the person or entity is the Employment Liaison Officer—a matter arising under Part 3 that affects the interests of the Commonwealth.
 (2) An application to the Tribunal for an inquiry must:
 (a) be in writing; and
 (b) be made to the Secretary; and

Requirement for internal review in certain cases
 (3) Subsections (4) and (5) apply if a person or entity (the interested party) may apply to the Employment Liaison Officer under section 65 for an internal review of a matter (the relevant matter) relating to a claim for compensation under section 37A.
 (4) The interested party is not entitled to apply to the Tribunal under subsection (1) for an inquiry into the relevant matter unless:
 (a) the interested party has made an application (the internal review application) under section 65 for an internal review of the relevant matter; and
 (b) either:
 (i) the interested party has received notice in accordance with 67 of a determination by the internal reviewer in relation to the relevant matter, but the interested party remains aggrieved in relation to the matter; or
 (ii) if the interested party has not received such a notice—the period prescribed in relation to the internal review application, by rules made for the purposes of subsection 67(1), has expired.
 (5) If the interested party is entitled to apply to the Tribunal under subsection (1) for an inquiry into the relevant matter because subparagraph (4)(b)(i) applies, such an application by the interested party under subsection (1) must:
 (a) be made within:
 (i) the period of 7 days beginning on the day after the day on which the interested party received the notice of the determination by the internal reviewer referred to in subparagraph (4)(b)(i); or
