Representatives of the Department of Home Affairs will discuss visa cancellation processes and review mechanisms when the Joint Standing Committee on Migration holds a public hearing as part of its inquiry into review processes associated with visa cancellations made on criminal grounds.
The inquiry is examining issues including the efficiency of existing review processes as they relate to decisions made under section 501 of the Migration Act; present levels of duplication associated with the merits review process; and the scope of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal’s jurisdiction to review ministerial decisions.
The full terms of reference are available on the Committee’s website.
