The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) is an independent body in Australia that provides a review process for people who have been affected by a decision made by the Department.
It provides an avenue for people to seek review of government decisions that may have affected their rights or interests.
If you have received an unfavourable decision from the Department of Home Affairs regarding your visa application, you may be able to lodge an appeal with the AAT. The AAT can review the decision and determine whether it should be affirmed, varied, or set aside.
The appeal process typically involves a hearing before a member of the AAT, where you can present your case and provide evidence to support your appeal. The member will consider the evidence and make a decision based on the relevant laws and policies.
It is important to note that there are strict time limits for lodging an appeal with the AAT, and it is advisable to seek professional advice and assistance when preparing an appeal.
