Lawyers say a decision by the Department of Home Affairs to deny a visa to a three-year-old boy with disabilities looks set to be overturned.
A decision by the Department of Home Affairs to deny a visa to a three-year-old boy with disabilities looks set to be overturned, following a decision by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
But after a three-hour hearing at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in August last year, lawyers acting on behalf of Kayban today announced the decision to deny him a visa would be overturned. But while Ms Aishath, her husband and two other children were granted visas, her youngest son was rejected on the grounds that his medical costs would be a burden on the Australian taxpayer.
“Ultimately, the AAT has accepted the argument that because Kayban is applying for a temporary visa, he isn’t eligible for many of the services he had been costed for,” Dr Gothard said.
