AAT Review (Visa Refusal Appeal Support)

When Your Visa is Refused – Don’t Give Up, Fight for Your Future

Receiving a visa refusal can be frustrating and heartbreaking—but it doesn’t have to be the end of your Australian dream. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) gives eligible applicants the opportunity to challenge a visa decision and have it reviewed fairly and independently.
At Oz Career Gurus, we specialize in preparing strong AAT submissions and guiding you through the appeals process with expert care, helping you turn a “No” into a second chance.

What Is the AAT? (Administrative Appeals Tribunal)

The AAT is an independent body that reviews decisions made by the Department of Home Affairs regarding visas. If your visa is refused or cancelled, the AAT can re-examine your case, consider new evidence, and even overturn the original decision if it finds in your favor.
Only certain types of visa refusals can be reviewed by the AAT, and strict deadlines apply—usually within 21 days of receiving your refusal notice.
