The Acting President has issued a new Migration and Refugee Division Practice Direction and a revised President’s Direction on prioritising applications in the Migration and Refugee Division.
These directions for the Migration and Refugee Division (MRD) come into effect on Wednesday 1 March 2023 and supersede previous directions.
