The Ombudsman cannot overturn or alter a decision from an administrative tribunal, but if you believe you have been treated unfairly by an adminstrative tribunal you can file a complaint with the Ombudsman. If the Ombudsman agrees, he can make recommendations to a tribunal to address the issue. The Ombudsman can also make recommendations to government about legislation, policies and programs.
