Privacy Notice

We collect information from you to process your application and to carry out the review under the Migration Act 1958 and Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024.

What is an expedited decision?

This form can be used to apply for the Tribunal to make an expedited decison in a review of a reviewable migration decision. An expedited decision is one that we can make in the review applicants' favour, without conducting a hearing, because new evidence given to us objectively satisfies the relevant issues in dispute.

You may ask us to consider making an expedited decision if all of the following requirements are met:

  • You have applied for review of a decision to refuse to grant a visa; and

  • That visa was refused on the basis of one or more criteria not being met

  • Documentary evidence can now be given to us that demonstrates the criterion or criteria are now met.

Examples:

  1. You can make an expedited decision request if your visa application was refused because you did not provide evidence that met the English language requirements and you now have this evidence.

  2. You cannot make an expedited decision request if you are applying for review of a decision about nomination or sponsorship of an activity, occupation, position or person.

  3. You cannot make an expedited decision request if the criterion requires any subjective assessment such as whether you are in a genuine relationship for a partner visa or you are a genuine temporary entrant for a student visa.

How to make an expedited decision request

An expedited decision request must:

  • be made in writing and clearly identify that it is such a request. A request may be made by completing and submitting this form online or by emailing your request to us at reviews@art.gov.au;

  • be accompanied by evidence that demonstrates the relevant criterion or criteria is now met; and

  • include a written submission that explains how the evidence now being given satisfies the relevant criterion or criteria, and how the Tribunal can now decide the review in the review applicant’s favour based on that new material without conducting a hearing.

We will advise you in writing if an expedited decision cannot be made in your case.
