Costs Involved in a Migration Court Review
Federal court filing fees
Effective from 1 July 2026, filing a migration application with the FCFCOA costs AUD $4,180, with a reduced fee of AUD $2,090 available where a Registrar or authorised officer determines you're eligible. Once a matter is set down for hearing, a setting-down fee of AUD $1,035 applies (individuals) or AUD $2,495 (corporations), and a daily hearing fee of the same amount applies for each hearing day after the first. A reduced fee may also apply on financial hardship or concession-card grounds.
Legal representation and litigation costs
Costs vary depending on case complexity and the level of court involvement.
Additional legal preparation expenses
These may include document preparation, affidavits, and expert legal submissions.
