Recommendations

Recommendation 1

The committee recommends that the Department of Immigration and Border Protection put in place policies and procedures, consistent with the Migration Act 1958, which would support applicants to seek leave to apply out of time or apply for alternative forms of review in the rare situations where the department or a tribunal fails to correctly notify the applicant and the applicant has been directly disadvantaged as a result.

Recommendation 2

The committee recommends that the Australian Government consider putting in place a regulatory framework to underpin the powers, authority and role of the Independent Reviewer of Adverse Security Assessments.

Recommendation 3

The committee recommends that the Bill be passed, but urges the government to seriously and urgently consider the preceding recommendations.
