Protection Visa

Compassionate legal support for individuals seeking protection and safety in Australia.

Protection Visa

Seeking Safety in Australia? Start With the Right Legal Advice.

Applying for a Protection Visa is not just another visa process. For many people, it comes at a difficult point in life, often after fear, uncertainty or serious harm in their home country.

If you are in Australia and fear returning to your country because of persecution, violence, threats or serious human rights risks, you may be able to apply for a Protection Visa (Subclass 866). In most cases, the Department will look closely at why you fear return, who may harm you, whether your government can protect you, and whether relocation within your country is realistic.

What the Process Looks Like

01

Understanding Your Claim

We start by listening to your circumstances in detail. These matters are personal, and sometimes difficult to talk about, so we take the time to understand what has happened and what you fear may happen if you return.

02

Reviewing Eligibility and Risks

We assess whether your claim may fall under Australia’s protection obligations and identify any issues that could affect the application.

03

Preparing Your Evidence

This may include your personal statement, identity documents, country information, medical records, police reports, news articles or other material that supports your claim.

04

Lodging the Application

We prepare and lodge your application with the Department of Home Affairs and make sure the key issues are explained clearly.

05

Ongoing Support

If the Department asks for more information or invites you to an interview, we help you prepare and respond properly.
