Receiving a Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation (NOICC) can be daunting. If you are faced with a NOICC, you should seek professional advice and assistance as soon as possible to provide a strong response to the Department of Home Affairs.
- Where a visa is cancelled, the decision can usually be appealed to the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). Our team has experience in successfully overturning visa cancellations, and receiving information and instruction at the earliest opportunity was crucial to obtaining a positive outcome in each case.
There are various reasons that the Department of Home Affairs may consider cancelling a visa. In some cases the reason for cancellation requires mandatory cancellation, but in many other situations immigration officers can apply discretion and consider reasons why a visa should not be cancelled – even when the grounds to cancel exists.

By law, a NOICC must clearly outline the particular ground for cancellation and the information that has been relied on to establish such a position.
