Migration law

We can assist you in applying to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (the Court) to review certain types of decisions under the Migration Act 1958 made by the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs (the Minister), the Department of Home Affairs, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), and the Immigration Assessment Authority.

The Court can only review a decision to determine if a serious legal error, called a ‘jurisdictional error’ was made. Jurisdictional errors include failing to consider a relevant consideration or relying on irrelevant material, asking the wrong question or failing to observe the requirements of procedural fairness.

If your review application is successful, the Court can send your case back to the decision maker for re-determination. The Court can also prevent the Minister from acting on the decision.

The Court cannot decide whether you should be granted a visa, and it cannot grant you a visa.
