Australian Administrative Tribunal

The Australian Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) is an independent body that reviews decisions made by government agencies. Its role is to ensure fairness by reconsidering cases related to issues like immigration, social security, and tenancy disputes. The AAT provides an accessible process for individuals to challenge administrative decisions, offering hearings where evidence can be presented. It acts as a neutral intermediary, helping to resolve disagreements without involving courts directly. The tribunal’s decisions are generally final within its jurisdiction but can sometimes be appealed to the courts if necessary.
