If Department of Immigration and Border Protection refuses or cancels your visa you may have a possibility to appeal the decision of delegate of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT – Formerly MRT (Migration review tribunal))

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) conducts independent merits review of administrative decisions made under Commonwealth laws. We review decisions made by Australian Government ministers, departments and agencies and, in limited circumstances, decisions made by state government and non-government bodies. We also review decisions made under Norfolk Island laws.
The AAT was established by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 and commenced operations on 1 July 1976. On 1 July 2015 the Migration Review Tribunal, Refugee Review Tribunal and Social Security Appeals Tribunal were merged with the AAT.
