Applications to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) reviews many different types of government decisions to ensure that the correct and preferable decision has been made. This includes visa-related decisions that are not made personally by a Minister administering the Migration Act 1958. When applying to the AAT to review a visa cancellation or refusal decision you can advance new arguments and new evidence that were not put to the original decision maker. Our lawyers have successfully acted in applications to the Administrative Appeal Tribunal for review of the following types of visa-realted decisions (click the list items for examples of decisions we have received):
The time frames for applying to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal vary depending on the type of decision you have received. Contact our firm to receive free advice about the relevant time frames involved in your matter.
