Understanding Section 57 Natural Justice Letters

A Section 57 Natural Justice Letter is issued by the Department of Home Affairs when adverse information is found that could potentially affect the outcome of a visa application. This letter provides the applicant with an opportunity to respond to the adverse information before a final decision is made on their visa application. The letter is a crucial part of the natural justice process, ensuring that applicants are treated fairly and given a chance to present their case.
