ART Tribunal Appeals

If your visa application has been refused or your visa has been cancelled, you may have the right to appeal to the new Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). The ART will replace the former Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) as Australia’s independent merits review body. At MyVisa Lawyers, I provide expert legal advice and representation to ensure your appeal is lodged on time and argued effectively.

What Is an ART Tribunal Appeal?

The Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) is an independent body that reviews decisions made by the Department of Home Affairs. Key features include:

• Strict timeframes apply to lodge an appeal (often 7–28 days from decision).
• The ART conducts a fresh review of your case and can affirm, vary, or overturn the Department’s decision.
• Applicants must present strong evidence and submissions to support their case.
• Hearings may involve questions from Tribunal Members about your circumstances.

An ART appeal may be your last opportunity to remain in Australia lawfully, making professional legal assistance essential.

Our ART Tribunal Appeal services are designed for:

• Individuals whose visa applications have been refused.
