Did you know?
Did you know a visa can be cancelled for many reasons other than a criminal conviction?
Your visa can be cancelled simply for (including but not limited to):
Breaching visa conditions, such as overstaying or working without proper authorisation.
Some change in circumstance that causes your circumstance to be different from when your visa was originally granted.
Found to have provided false or misleading information in your visa application.
Engaging in conduct that is deemed a risk to public safety or national security, or a mere criminal charge, even without a finding of guilt.

Receiving a visa refusal or cancellation notice can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone.

With years of experience handling visa refusals and cancellations, we’ve successfully helped numerous clients navigate the complex legal processes involved. Our approach is tailored to your unique situation, ensuring that you are fully supported from every angle.
Our team has a history of over 100+ successfully managing visa challenges, ensuring that you have a solid chance at overturning negative decisions.
Our experienced lawyers, experts in appeals at all Australian courts, provide top-tier legal advice across immigration, administrative law, and judicial review, offering comprehensive solutions for all outcomes.
Even in the worst-case scenario, where visa cancellation is inevitable, we develop detailed backup strategies to minimise disruptions to your life.
In Australia, visa refusal or cancellation decisions are subject to the principles of natural justice. This ensures that the decision-making process is fair, transparent, and unbiased. As part of this process, you are entitled to:
- A Right to Respond: You have the right to challenge any negative allegations or findings made against you.
- A Fair Hearing: Your case must be heard by an independent and impartial decision-maker.
- An Unbiased Decision: The decision regarding your visa must be free from prejudice or unfair influence.
These rights form the foundation of your opportunity to appeal and ensure your side of the story is fully considered.
If you’ve received a negative decision from the Department of Home Affairs, you often have the right to appeal for reconsideration by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). This is your opportunity to present your case again and challenge the decision.
However, not all situations allow for an appeal to the AAT. Some circumstances that may limit your ability to appeal include:
- You are outside Australia when the decision is made
- The appeal wasn’t lodged within the specified timeframe
- You are not the correct person to file the appeal
If you are unable to appeal to the AAT, don’t worry. You may still have other options, such as appealing to the Federal Circuit Court of Australia or the Federal Court of Australia. These legal forums can review the lawfulness of the decision-making process and may be able to set aside a negative decision if it was made unfairly.
Appealing a visa refusal or cancellation is a complex legal process, and it’s crucial to have expert legal representation. There are specific legal requirements and procedures that must be followed to ensure the best chance of success.
At Brightstone Migration, our experienced lawyers will:
- Assess your situation and provide clear, actionable advice
- Guide you through the appeal process, ensuring all legal procedures are correctly followed
- Develop a strong case with comprehensive evidence to support your appeal
- Advise on alternative legal options if an appeal is not possible
Our goal is to protect your visa status, your rights, and your future in Australia.
If you have received a visa refusal or cancellation notice, it’s essential to act quickly. Timeframes for appeals are strict, and any delays could limit your options. Contact Brightstone Migration today for a confidential consultation with one of our immigration experts.
