The AAT has asked Migration Alliance to distribute the following message:

On 1 July 2015, the Migration Review Tribunal, Refugee Review Tribunal (MRT-RRT) and Social Security Appeals Tribunal (SSAT) were merged with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). The AAT now plans to retire the website addresses of the former tribunals:

• Migration Review Tribunal – Refugee Review Tribunal: http://www.mrt-rrt.gov.au
• Social Security Appeals Tribunal: http://www.ssat.gov.au

The content of these sites is now fully incorporated into the AAT’s website: http://www.aat.gov.au. All pages will have aat.gov.au addresses and any users accessing the old web addresses will be automatically redirected to the relevant page on the AAT website.
