ART to decide student visa appeals without hearings

New legislation has been passed, requiring certain temporary visa decisions to be reviewed without an oral hearing; giving the ART greater flexibility to resolve certain matters based on written submissions.

Decisions covered by this process will be prescribed by regulation, with student visa refusals are the first area of application.

The purpose of the amendment is to make faster, fairer decisions, while enabling applicants to fully present their case and enhancing the tribunal’s efficiency.
