Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) Reviews

Overview

Independent review of a migration decision.

The Administrative Review Tribunal can review certain migration and visa decisions. The available review rights, application deadline and scope of review depend on the decision and the circumstances in which it was made.

How we can help

Advice shaped around the decision under review.

• Assess whether ART review is available
• Explain the review process and likely issues
• Prepare evidence and written submissions
• Assist with hearing preparation and Tribunal correspondence

Migration decisions that may carry review rights.

A review strategy grounded in the reasons for decision.

1. 01

3. 03

Documents & information

What we will need to review.

• Decision notification and reasons
• Department correspondence and application records
• Relevant evidence previously provided
• New information addressing the issues in dispute
• A clear chronology of the matter

Important time limits

Review deadlines must be checked immediately.

Migration review time limits can be strict and the ART generally cannot extend the period stated for lodging a review application. The decision letter should be reviewed as soon as it is received.
