AAT / MRT
Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT)/ Migration Review Tribunal (MRT)
Migration and Refugee Division (MRD or MR Division) under Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT)/ (formerly known as Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) can be requested to reviews decisions (if the decision is reviewable) to refuse or cancel visas made by a case officer of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. Further, AAT/MRT can review the decision regarding approval or cancellation of sponsorship and nomination, bond or security amount and much more.
AAT as an independent tribunal has a power under the act to conduct a merits review a decision whereby the tribunal makes an administrative reconsideration of the application. The tribunal makes the decision within the same law or legislative framework as the case officer who is regarded as a primary decision maker and as such cannot make an exception. The tribunal may exercise all the powers and discretions conferred upon the decision maker or case officer. However, the tribunal may not need to consider the departmental policy as the case officer for the department may need to consider in making a decision as such there may be a different consideration in any matter with the different tribunal member.
Under the Migration Act 1958, the tribunal (AAT) has the power to affirm (not change) the primary decision, vary the primary decision, set aside the primary decision and substitute a new decision and remit (return) a matter to Department of Immigration and Border Protection for reconsideration with specific directions. Based on the type of decision and whether the person is in immigration detention, there are specifications as to the reviewable decisions, the applicant for review, how to apply for review, the time limits for application and the application fee.
