When to Seek Judicial Review After an AAT Decision

October 16, 2025

After the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) affirms a negative migration decision, the next legal step may be to apply for judicial review in the Federal Circuit and Family Court or Federal Court of Australia.

A judicial review does not re-examine the merits of your case. Instead, it determines whether the Tribunal made a legal error, such as:

  • Failing to consider relevant evidence
  • Applying the wrong legal test
  • Denying procedural fairness
  • Acting beyond its jurisdiction

BridgeBlue Global Migration’s litigation lawyers assess your case thoroughly to determine whether legal grounds exist for review. If so, we prepare and lodge applications, represent you in court, and manage all procedural steps with diligence and precision.

Judicial review can be complex and time-sensitive — early advice is essential. Contact us promptly if you believe a decision was made unfairly or unlawfully.
