Application of section 85 RTI Act

Anyone affected by a reviewable decision can apply to the Information Commissioner for an external review of the decision. This will generally be the applicant or a third party over whose objections information was released, but can include any person affected by the decision, such as a third party who was not consulted but believes they should have been.

Reviewable decision is defined in schedule 5. For more information refer to Explaining your review rights.
