Major Changes to ART: Dismissal Powers, Oral Reasons, and Identity Verification
We discuss the upcoming changes to the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) under the 2026 legislation, including new dismissal powers for registrars, oral reasons with a 14-day request window, and mandatory identity verification for some migration applicants. We emphasize the need to prepare a decision-ready case from day one and to respond to ART notices immediately.
