Forms & fees
If you want to make an appeal to the Immigration & Protection Tribunal (IPT), you should use the forms on this webpage.
Some forms also have guides that will help you assess whether or not you are entitled to appeal to the Tribunal. The guides also provide information on how to lodge an appeal and what happens after you lodge your appeal.
Appeals to the Tribunal must be lodged within specific timeframes. Each of the guides contains information on how you calculate the period in which you must appeal.
You will need to pay a fee to lodge most types of appeals, except refugee and protection appeals. The fees are listed next to the forms.
If you need more help, you can read the practice notes.
