Ministerial Intervention

Overview

Navigating the complexities of immigration law can be challenging, especially when standard visa pathways do not yield favourable outcomes. In such cases, Ministerial Intervention may be an option. This process allows for a personal request to be made to the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services, and Multicultural Affairs to intervene in your case, providing a unique avenue for emigrating lawyers facing exceptional circumstances.

What is Ministerial Intervention?

Ministerial Intervention is a discretionary power granted to the Minister to intervene in visa decisions made by the Department of Home Affairs. This intervention can result in the granting of a visa or other favourable outcomes that would not be possible through standard administrative processes.

Who Can Apply?

Ministerial Intervention is typically reserved for cases where there are compelling or compassionate circumstances. It is not a substitute for the regular visa application process but is considered a last resort for individuals who have exhausted all other options.

Eligible Applicants

Applicant facing deportation or visa refusal despite having compelling reasons to stay in Australia.
Applicants whose contributions are deemed significant to the Australian legal system or community.
Individuals with strong humanitarian grounds or facing exceptional hardship if forced to leave Australia.

Grounds for Ministerial Intervention

Applications for Ministerial Intervention must demonstrate compelling reasons that justify the need for intervention. These grounds may include, but are not limited to:

  • Significant Contributions: Evidence of substantial contributions to the Australian legal system or community.
  • Humanitarian Concerns: Situations involving severe hardship, family separation, or health issues that cannot be adequately addressed outside Australia.
  • Compassionate Grounds: Unique or exceptional circumstances that warrant special consideration.

Application Process

Exhaust All Options: Ensure that all other visa application and appeal processes have been fully explored and exhausted.
Prepare Your Case: Gather all relevant documentation, including legal contributions, personal statements, character references, and evidence of compelling circumstances.
Submit Your Request: Complete the appropriate form and submit your request to the Department of Home Affairs.
Ministerial Review: Your case will be reviewed by the Minister, who has the discretion to grant a visa or provide another favourable outcome.
