ART Appeals in Australia
On 28 May 2024, the Australian Parliament passed legislation to abolish the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and replace it with a new body called the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART).
If your visa application has been refused or your visa cancelled, you may have the right to have the decision reviewed by the ART.
The ART can reassess your case, consider new evidence, and decide whether the Department of Home Affairs’ decision should be overturned.
At Salvo Migration, we specialise in preparing and managing strong appeals to maximise your chances of success.
What Factors Affect the Success of an ART Appeal?
Type of Case – Partner visa appeals may have different queues and complexity compared to skilled or student visa appeals.
Lodgement Timing – The earlier you lodge within your deadline, the sooner your case can move into the queue.
Case Complexity – Matters involving character issues, extensive evidence, or legal arguments may take longer.
Hearing Availability – Waiting for a Tribunal hearing date can add significant time.
Additional Evidence Requests – If the Tribunal asks for more documents, this can extend the timeline.
Tribunal Backlogs – Processing times can be heavily impacted by the number of cases currently waiting to be heard.
Why Preparation Matters for ART Appeals
The ART process is not a fresh visa application — it’s a review of the Department’s decision.
You must address the specific reasons your visa was refused or cancelled, backed by solid evidence and legal arguments.
Without strong preparation, you risk:
Missing critical legal points
Submitting incomplete or irrelevant evidence
Being unprepared for questioning during the hearing
Working with an experienced migration lawyer ensures your appeal is accurate, well-structured, and strategically presented from the start.

Common Issues and Solutions for ART Appeals
Expert guidance from Salvo Migration to help you navigate appeal challenges with confidence.
Problem: My appeal deadline is approaching
You generally have a strict time limit (often 21 or 28 days) to lodge your appeal. Missing this deadline usually means losing your right to review. Act immediately and get legal advice before lodging.
Problem: I don’t understand the refusal reasons
ART appeals focus on the Department’s stated refusal grounds. It’s critical to interpret the decision record correctly and address each reason with evidence and legal arguments
Problem: I don’t have all the evidence yet
You can still lodge your appeal before the deadline and provide supporting documents later, but it’s best to start gathering evidence immediately.
Problem: My circumstances have changed since refusald?
Significant changes (relationship status, employment, health) can be relevant if they affect your eligibility. Legal advice can help decide what to present.
Problem: I’m nervous about the hearing
Hearings can be intimidating, but preparation makes a difference. Your migration lawyer can prepare you for questions, cross-examination, and how to present your case clearly.
I’ve lost at the ART before
If you’ve had an ART loss in the past, options may still exist — such as Ministerial Intervention or Federal Court appeals. These have different criteria and deadlines.
