ART application fees are increasing from 1 July 2026.

Key changes include:

• Review of a reviewable migration decision: $3,727 (up from current fees)
• Review of a reviewable protection decision: $2,293 (generally payable only if unsuccessful)
• Standard application fee: $1,195
• Concessional fee remains $100 in eligible circumstances

Importantly, the new fee applies to any application fee paid on or after 1 July 2026 — even if the application was lodged before that date.

Annual increases occur under the Administrative Review Tribunal Rules and Migration Regulations and are linked to CPI adjustments.

For migration practitioners and applicants, timing of payment may now become an increasingly important strategic consideration.
