Refugee Review Tribunal

The Refugee Review Tribunal is an Australian independent body that reviews decisions made by the Department of Home Affairs regarding applications for refugee protection. When someone’s claim for asylum is refused, they can ask the Tribunal to reconsider their case. The Tribunal examines new evidence and arguments, ensuring the original decision was fair and correct. Its goal is to fairly assess whether a person qualifies as a refugee under international and Australian law, providing protection to those fleeing persecution or danger in their home countries.
