An Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) appeal is a legal process that lets eligible applicants seek an independent merits review of certain visa decisions made by the Department of Home Affairs. The ART replaced the former Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) in October 2024, following the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024, so an AAT appeal in Hobart today is lodged with the ART instead. The Tribunal reassesses the facts and law to determine whether the original decision should be upheld or changed.

Administrative Review Tribunal application fees
Applicants need to pay a Tribunal application fee when lodging an appeal, subject to eligibility for any fee reductions. As of 1 July 2026, the standard ART filing fee is $3,727 for a reviewable migration decision, $2,293 for a reviewable protection decision (generally only payable if unsuccessful), and $1,195 for other reviewable decisions, with a concessional fee of $100 available in eligible circumstances.
Legal representation and preparation costs
Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of the case and the level of representation required.
Additional document preparation expenses
Costs may arise for obtaining supporting evidence, translations, and other documentation.
ART appeals involve complex legal and procedural requirements, and the outcome can have significant consequences for your migration status. Engaging a migration lawyer can help identify legal issues, prepare strong submissions, and make sure your case is presented effectively.
Australian Migration Lawyers provides tailored legal advice and representation for ART appeals. Contact our Hobart team to discuss your matter and understand your options.

Hobart is Australia's second-oldest capital city, founded in 1804 as a British penal colony on the banks of the Derwent River. The Palawa people are the traditional custodians of the land, and their presence in Tasmania dates back at least 35,000 years. European settlement brought convicts primarily from England, Ireland, and Scotland, and the cessation of transportation in 1853 marked the beginning of Hobart's transition toward a free settler society.

The post-World War II era brought migrants from Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Poland to Hobart, gradually diversifying a city that had remained predominantly Anglo-Celtic throughout its early history. In more recent decades, Hobart has welcomed humanitarian entrants and skilled migrants from China, India, Bhutan, Nepal, and across Southeast Asia. Today, Hobart retains the highest proportion of Australian-born residents among Australia's capital cities, but its migrant community continues to grow steadily, enriching the city's cultural fabric and contributing to its ongoing economic recovery and growth.
