Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal is a government agency in the state of Victoria, Australia.

It resolves disputes and makes executive decisions on behalf of the State Govenment in a number of miscellaneous areas, each of which is referred for adjudication to the Tribunal by its own separate statute. For each separate area the Tribunal keeps a List of matters to be adjudicated, analogous to a Court List.

V.C.A.T's current lists are:

  • Anti-Discrimination List
  • Credit List
  • Civil Claims List (successor to the Small Claims Tribunal)
  • Domestic Building List
  • General List
  • Guardianship List
  • Land Valuation List
  • Legal Practice List
  • Occupational and Business Regulations List
  • Planning List
  • Real Property List
  • Residential Tenancies List (for adjudication of disputes between landlord and tenant)
  • Retail Tenancies List (for adjudication of disputes between landlord and tenant)
  • Taxation List

Decisions of the Tribunal can in most cases be appealed on a matter of law to the Court of Appeal.
