Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT)
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) is an acting government body that conducts independent merit reviews of administrative decisions made under Commonwealth Laws under the Australian Government.
The AAT review decisions made by Australian Government ministers, departments, and agencies, and in limited circumstances, decisions made by the state government and non-government bodies. They also review decisions made under Norfolk Island laws. It is not a court and not part of the Australian court hierarchy; however, its decisions are subject to review by the Federal Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. The AAT was established by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 and started operation in 1976.
On 1 July 2015, the Migration Review Tribunal, Refugee Review Tribunal, and Social Security Appeals Tribunal became divisions of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
We offer to counsel and help with the review of cases to the clients at the tribunal.
