Al Hattab holds a Temporary Humanitarian Concern visa, subclass 786, offered to Palestinians who fled to Australia after the conflict in Gaza escalated in October 2023.
The three-year visa — issued only on a case-by-case basis following mandatory health, character, and security checks — is the second step of the Australian government's Temporary Humanitarian Stay program.
It allows her to work, study and access Medicare, but expires in early 2028. Unlike the version offered to Ukrainians in the aftermath of Russia's invasion, it provides no pathway to permanent residency.
