Administrative Appeals Tribunal

In 2015 the significant step was taken of amalgamating the Migration Review Tribunal (MRT), the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) and the Social Security Appeals Tribunal (SSAT) with the AAT. Persons who formerly applied to or practised before these tribunals now need to adapt their activities to the practice and procedure of the AAT.

This fourth edition of the book includes commentary on the legislative changes made to bring the MRT, RRT and SSAT within the AAT. It also notes and comments on the numerous decisions of the AAT and the Federal Court relating to the practice and procedure of the AAT and the amalgamated tribunals.

Written by Australia’s leading authority on the work of the AAT, this book provides a detailed exposition of the jurisprudence of the AAT. Administrative Appeals Tribunal constitutes a clear, comprehensive treatment of the organisation, its jurisdiction and its procedures and provides essential guidance to anyone who is applying to, or appearing before, the Tribunal.

The relevant sections of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 (Cth), Administrative Appeals Tribunal Regulation 2015 and the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) are included as appendices in this book for ease of reference.
