I disagree with the decision made by the Refugee Review Tribunal. What can I do now?

• You can initiate action in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia and you can seek ministerial intervention.
• The Minister only rarely intervenes so any application in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia should be continued while you seek ministerial intervention.
• To seek ministerial intervention you should write a letter to the Minister outlining the reasons you believe you should be allowed to stay in Australia:
  • your letter must provide information about your situation and explain why you think your circumstances are unique or exceptional;
  • for guidance as to the types of unique and exceptional circumstances you should include see: http://www.immi.gov.au/refugee/circumstances.htm;
  • attach certified copies of documents supporting your claim for Australian residence (such as a marriage certificate to show you are married to someone in Australia);
  • at the time of writing in December 2014 you should send the letter to:

Scott Morrison MP, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection
Parliament House
Canberra ACT 2600;

• once the outcome of your request is determined you will be informed in writing.
