On 14 October 2024, the Immigration Assessment Authority (IAA) and Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) will be replaced by a new body, called the Administrative Review Tribunal (‘the new Tribunal’).
Until such time as the new Tribunal commences on 14 October 2024, the IAA is required to continue to undertake reviews, including those ordered by the Courts. All cases currently before the IAA will continue. Most cases currently before the IAA are expected to be finalised before the IAA is abolished.
Once the new Tribunal is established, any remaining cases will transition to the new Tribunal. If you have been referred to the IAA for review of a decision and your case is transitioned to the new Tribunal, you will not need to do anything. Further information will be provided at that time.
If you have specific questions about your case, please contact 1800 205 919.
