The ART replaced the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) in October 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A review is a second chance to have your case decided. It is often the most important step after a refusal or cancellation, and in many cases it is also what keeps you lawfully in Australia while your next step is worked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The short answer:<\/strong> check your decision letter for review rights and the deadline, and lodge on time. Late applications generally cannot be accepted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the ART does<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ART is independent of the Department. It looks at your case again, considering the law, policy and all the evidence, including new evidence you provide. It can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>affirm<\/strong> the decision (leave it as it is);<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>set aside<\/strong> the decision and substitute a new one;<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>remit<\/strong> the matter to the Department to decide again, with directions; or<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>vary<\/strong> the decision, in limited cases.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have review rights?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every decision can be reviewed. Review rights depend on the visa, where you were when you applied or when the decision was made, and whether the decision was made by a Department officer or by the Minister personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your decision letter tells you whether you can apply to the ART, who can apply, and the deadline. Read it carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If ART review is not available, you may still have options, such as asking for a mandatory cancellation to be revoked, judicial review, or in limited cases, Ministerial intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deadlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deadlines are strict, and many cannot be extended. Most migration decisions have a 28-day time limit from when you are notified, while some, including some character and detention decisions, have much shorter limits. Missing the deadline, or applying to the wrong place, can close off your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have received a Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation, your response to it comes first. The ART is where you go after a decision has been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What changed in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 18 May 2026, new laws allow the Tribunal to decide some matters &#8220;on the papers&#8221;, without a hearing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Certain temporary visa reviews can be decided on the papers once those visa types are prescribed in the regulations.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>More generally, the Tribunal can decide any matter without a hearing if it can be properly decided on the papers, after giving you a chance to make submissions.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes your written submissions and evidence more important. If you do not respond to a Tribunal invitation in time, your review can be dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 1 November 2026, there is also an upfront fee for protection visa reviews, which previously only had a fee at the end if the review was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The review process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apply on time.<\/strong> Lodge the application and pay the fee before the deadline.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Get the Department&#8217;s file.<\/strong> You can request the documents the Department relied on.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare your case.<\/strong> Address each reason for refusal with evidence and written submissions. Fill gaps, correct errors and explain context.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Hearing or on the papers.<\/strong> Many matters still go to a hearing, in person or by video, where you can give evidence and bring witnesses. Others may be decided on the papers.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Decision.<\/strong> The Tribunal will affirm, set aside or remit the decision.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ART charges an application fee. In some cases it can be reduced for financial hardship, and part of it may be refunded if your review is successful. Your case may also involve costs for translations, expert reports or medical reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your visa status during the review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a refusal, lodging a valid review usually keeps your bridging visa in effect until the review is decided. After a cancellation, you will usually need a Bridging Visa E. Either way, check your status. If you do not hold a visa, you are unlawful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If the ART affirms the decision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two options may remain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Judicial review.<\/strong> This is not a second merits review. A court can only look at whether the decision involved a legal error. Strict filing deadlines apply.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Ministerial intervention.<\/strong> Discretionary, rare and reserved for unique and compelling circumstances, usually after other options are exhausted.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have no other visa, you may become unlawful. A Bridging Visa E may be available, often with limited work and travel rights. Future applications can be affected by exclusion periods depending on how and why the decision was made. Get advice before you leave Australia or apply for anything new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Missing the deadline.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Relying on the original application, without addressing the reasons for refusal.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Not responding to Tribunal invitations or requests in time.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Withdrawing the review without another visa in place.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leytonstonelaw.com\/blog\/2025\/07\/12\/can-i-apply-for-another-visa-onshore-while-my-art-appeal-is-pending\/\">Can I apply for another visa onshore while my ART appeal is pending?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leytonstonelaw.com\/blog\/2025\/08\/05\/section-48-bar-what-it-is-when-it-applies-and-how-to-plan-your-next-steps\/\">Section 48 bar \u2014 what it is, when it applies, and how to plan your next steps<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leytonstonelaw.com\/blog\/2025\/07\/19\/notice-of-intention-to-consider-cancellation-noicc\/\">Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation (NOICC): what it is, deadlines, and what to do next<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we can help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have received a refusal or cancellation, contact us as soon as possible.
