The Review and Regulation List has jurisdiction under a number of Acts of Parliament to review administrative decisions, conduct inquiries, accept referrals and make first instance decisions (orders in original jurisdiction).
Under some Acts of Parliament, VCAT has the power to review decisions made by an original decision-maker such as a government agency, a statutory authority or other Administrative decision maker.
The Victorian Legal Services Board can apply to VCAT to disqualify someone who has been convicted of a serious offence, is not a fit and proper person or is otherwise unsuitable to work in a legal office.
In Victoria, a person in the late stages of a terminal illness can request access to medication that will end their life at a time they choose. This is called voluntary assisted dying.
