VCAT

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) deals with a wide and varied range of matters. You may have had difficulty in dealing with a company, purchasing goods or a motor vehicle, or be a tenant experiencing difficulties with your Landlord. VCAT has some advantages over other jurisdictions. It is faster and generally less expensive. Costs are, however, not ordinarily recoverable from the other party. VCAT covers the following areas:

• Business Licences
• Civil Claims
• Credit Contracts
• Discrimination
• Domestic Building
• General List
• Guardianship
• Land Valuation
• Planning
• Real Property
• Residential Tenancies
• Retail Tenancies
• State Taxation
• Freedom of Information

We can help you prepare your matter for hearing and, depending on the size and nature of the dispute, we may be able to represent you at the hearing (legal representation is not permitted in all matters). We can help you bring or defend an action.
