The Visa Cancellation Kit is a plain English
guide drafted by IARC (in conjunction with the Refugee and Immigration
Legal Service in Queensland) to provide guidance to individuals
facing visa cancellation on character grounds under s501 of the
Migration Act.
Visa cancellation under s501 is extremely
serious and will result in permanent exclusion from Australia.
Therefore the Visa Cancellation Kit provides guidance on how
to respond to a Notice of Intention to Cancel and what supporting
evidence to provide.

As a means of furthering community education on
common migration issues, IARC has made significant efforts to maximise
the number and circulation of its information sheets on particular
visa types and other migration matters.
IARC’s Information Sheets provide a step-by-step
guide to the visa application and review process. These information
sheets provide information which is often not available in the fact
sheets and Booklets produced by the Department of Immigration. Importantly,
the IARC Information sheets provide an independent, plain English,
step-by-step guide to the visa application process and beyond. Access
to IARC’s information sheets is free. To review the information
sheet relevant to you, simply click on the name of the information
sheet. Sheets are available as Word or PDF downloads.
