Challenge a decision the right way
If your visa has been refused or cancelled, you may have a right to merits review at the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), which replaced the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) on 14 October 2024. Strict time limits apply — usually 21 or 28 days from notification depending on the decision and where you are. Acting quickly is critical.

Who it's for: Visa applicants and sponsors whose application has been refused or cancelled and who have review rights.
The Administrative Review Tribunal (Migration & Refugee jurisdiction) reconducts the decision on the merits. We assist with preparing the application for review, gathering evidence, drafting submissions and representing you at hearings.
Who it's for: Visa holders whose visa is being considered for cancellation by the Department of Home Affairs.
A NOICC requires a carefully prepared written response within the time frame stated in the notice. Failure to respond properly can result in visa cancellation. We help you prepare a comprehensive response.
