Understanding Ministerial Intervention

Ministerial intervention is a discretionary power exercised by the Minister for Immigration to grant a visa or overturn a decision made by the Department of Home Affairs or the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). This option is typically considered after all other avenues of appeal have been exhausted. It is reserved for cases with unique or exceptional circumstances that warrant special consideration.

For more detailed information on ministerial intervention, visit the Department of Home Affairs website.

Grounds for Ministerial Intervention

Ministerial intervention requests are assessed based on the presence of unique or exceptional circumstances, which may include:

• Compelling Humanitarian Grounds: Situations involving significant humanitarian concerns or compassionate grounds.
• Substantial Family Ties: Strong family connections in Australia that would be adversely affected by the refusal.
• Contributions to the Community: Demonstrable contributions to the Australian community, economy, or society.
• Health and Safety Concerns: Medical conditions or safety issues that warrant special consideration.

It’s important to note that ministerial intervention is not intended to correct administrative errors or to be used as an additional avenue for routine appeals.
