What Is the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT)?

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal is an independent body that reviews decisions made by the Department of Home Affairs. This includes decisions to refuse or cancel visas. If you feel your application was wrongly assessed, the AAT gives you the opportunity to present your case again. An appeal can lead to your visa being granted, your case being sent back for reconsideration, or the refusal being upheld. We help you prepare a strong and clear case to maximise your chances of a positive result.

Who Can Lodge an AAT Appeal?

You may be able to lodge an AAT appeal if:

Your visa was refused or cancelled by the Department of Home Affairs
You were in Australia when the decision was made
You received a valid refusal or cancellation notice with appeal rights
You lodge the appeal within the given timeframe (usually 21 to 28 days)
You follow all immi rules and meet visa conditions while the appeal is active

We help you understand if you qualify for an appeal and ensure all steps are taken within the allowed time.
