Review rights and time limits depend on the decision. Check your decision letter and seek assistance promptly. Sending an enquiry does not lodge an ART application or extend a deadline. If your deadline is imminent, seek immediate assistance rather than waiting for an email reply.

Review the reasons for refusal or cancellation, your circumstances and the documents that matter.
Assess review options
Identify whether Tribunal review may be available and check the applicable lodgement requirements.

Questions you may have.
Can every refusal or cancellation be reviewed?
No. Review rights depend on the particular decision and your circumstances. The decision letter and notification details need to be checked before advice is given.
What should I have ready?
Your decision letter, how and when you received it, any accompanying review information, and details of any application already lodged.
Is this the same as the former AAT?
The Administrative Review Tribunal replaced the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in October 2024. Older testimonials may refer to the AAT.
What will it cost?
Consultation and representation fees will be explained before you agree to services. Tribunal application fees, where applicable, are separate.
