APPEALS
Australian Visa Refusal — Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT)
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) reviews the merits of certain visa decisions. It is the only body authorised to reconsider decisions made by the Federal Government on eligible visa matters.
Highlights
The AAT will reassess your case by reviewing the facts and the relevant law. Processing time varies by case complexity and generally ranges from 12–18 months.
If the outcome is Affirm, typical next steps include applying to the Federal Court or seeking Ministerial Intervention. Our registered MARA agents bring extensive experience handling complex appeal matters and can help you identify the most suitable pathway.
How We Can Help
We evaluate your refusal decision, prepare submissions addressing the decision-maker's concerns, gather supporting evidence, and represent you through the AAT process. Where appropriate, we advise on alternatives such as fresh applications or other pathways.
