A refusal to grant an application is a reviewable decision. See section 676.

(3) If the licence is converted to a renewable licence under part 3, division 8 of the repealed WHS regulation for a class of high risk work mentioned in column 1 of the table, the renewable licence is taken to be a high risk work licence for a class of high risk work mentioned in column 2 of the table shown opposite the class of high risk work mentioned in column 1 of the table.
