Migration Review Tribunal Appeals

Visa applications are decided based on the Migration Act and Migration Regulations. The decisions are made by delegates of the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship in offices and Embassies around Australia and the world.

These decisions are made by humans, like you and I, and often these decisions can be made incorrectly, based on an incorrect interpretation of the Department’s policy or by drawing incorrect inferences from the facts. There are also unique situations where you may not satisfy the requirement when the decision by the Minister is made, but the law permits you to seek appeal and satisfy the requirements during an appeals process.

The Migration Review Tribunal has been established to review eligible decisions based on the merits of the decision as opposed to the legality of the decision. There are strict requirements you must satisfy to be eligible to review the decision, and we recommend contacting us to determine your eligibility.

A decision by the Migration Review Tribunal is also a pre-requisite to seeking Ministerial Intervention in suitable situations.
