An Administrative Review Tribunal appeal is a legal process that allows eligible applicants to seek an independent merits review of certain visa decisions made by the Department of Home Affairs. The Tribunal reassesses the facts and law to determine whether the original decision should be upheld or changed. The ART was established under the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024 and began operating on 14 October 2024, when it replaced the AAT.

Perth's history of migration dates back to the early 19th century, when the Swan River Colony was established in 1829 as a free settlement, attracting British settlers to Western Australia's coastline. The discovery of gold in the 1890s transformed Perth almost overnight, drawing migrants from across Australia, Britain, and beyond, and cementing the city's role as the commercial heart of the west.

The post-World War II era brought significant waves of migrants from Italy, Greece, and other parts of Southern and Eastern Europe, with Fremantle serving as the first point of arrival for many migrant ships. Today, Western Australia has the highest proportion of overseas-born residents of any Australian state, with approximately one in three Perth residents born overseas. This diversity continues to grow, shaped by skilled migration, humanitarian entrants, and international students from across Asia, the subcontinent, and the Pacific. Read Less
