Visa refusal/cancellation decisions can be taken to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), but may also go to Federal Courts or to the Minister for Intervention as part of exceptional circumstances.
There are very strict deadlines for lodging an appeal - in some cases there is only 21 days from the date of decision. You risk losing your right to appeal by missing a deadline.
The AAT does not just overturn or refuse decisions, but can also remit (send back) to be considered by the decision-maker, making a suggestion of approval subject to conditions. This gives applicants another opportunity to succeed.

The applicants who hold Protection Visa (Subclass 866) & Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) together with Student Visa (Subclass 500) & Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) & the rest will be included.
Time Limit for Appeals - An appeal must be lodged within a prescribed time limit. Generally, you must submit your application within 21 days of the date of the refusal or cancellation letter. Once this period expires, the right to appeal will be lost.
Valid Reasons for Appeal - All applicants must present valid reasons for appealing the application decision. For example, an applicant may appeal by providing new evidence, by showing misunderstandings, or demonstrating errors that were made in the original application.
Relevant Documents - The eligibility of the applicant must be supported with all documentary evidence. This may include other evidentiary Australian eligibility, an explanation of a change in personal circumstances, or evidence of circumstances having changed since the making of the application.
Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) - Most immigration tribunals will likely be undertaken by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). Applicants are required to follow the appeal procedures dictated by the AAT, which will include the completion of forms and payment of fees.
