Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) – Merits Review
AAT
The AAT is an independent body that reviews decisions made by Australian government officials or agencies. They ensure that these decisions are fair and made according to law. If you believe that a decision affecting you is wrong or unfair, you can apply to the AAT for a review. The AAT will consider all the facts and evidence of your case and make a new decision based on the merits of your case.

Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) - Merits Review
If your visa application has been refused or your visa has been cancelled and you would like to know whether this decision can be reviewed by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, please contact us for a comprehensive assessment of your circumstances.
Highlights:
- A decision to refuse or cancel your visa may be reviewed by the AAT.
- Decisions are reviewed “on the merits”, which means that the Tribunal will take a fresh look at the application, relevant law and policy and will make their own decision.
- The AAT has the power to affirm a decision, vary a decision, set aside and substitute a new decision or remit a decision to the decision-maker for reconsideration.
- Decisions that may be reviewed by the ATT include refusal or cancellation of visas where prescribed circumstances apply. Not all decisions are reviewable by the ATT, for example, a decision to which the Minister has issued a conclusive certificate.
