PROTECTION VISA REFUSAL OR CANCELLATION

IARC offers free immigration legal advice and assistance to people who have received a Protection visa refusal or cancellation from the Department of Home Affairs. 

The appeals process can be confusing and is further complicated by time limits. The appeal system has also become congested, with long waiting times for the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT, soon the be the Administrative Review Tribunal) and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA).

IARC is part of a national initiative to address this backlog of visa appeals. We offer free legal services to assist people to navigate this process. Our goal is to offer high-quality, independent and confidential legal advice and assistance to ensure everyone has access to a fair review process.

IARC also offers resources and information sessions to community support workers and organisations who assist refugees and asylum seekers.
