Before you apply

You may wish to discuss the issue with the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission (VEOHRC) or consider obtaining independent legal advice.

You must provide an affidavit in support of your application detailing the reasons you are seeking a revocation. You can also provide any material that you feel will support your application. You must also provide a copy of your application to the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission.

Apply

We can explain the application process and what the form is asking you for. Contact us to get support.

We cannot give you legal advice. This means we cannot tell you what to write in your application or recommend how to get the outcome you want.

Seek legal help if you are unsure about your options or need advice about your claim.

Do I need a lawyer or professional representative?

You do not need to have legal or other professional representation to appear at VCAT. If you wish to be represented by a lawyer or a professional advocate, usually you must ask for VCAT's permission.
