VCAT is a low cost, accessible, efficient and independent tribunal delivering high quality dispute resolution processes, including through alternative dispute resolution.
Our annual reports provide an annual account of VCAT activities and our Strategic Directions 2024-27 sets out a transformation agenda over the next five years.
Our media team can help with media questions about specific cases, whether an application has been lodged or withdrawn, names of parties and dates of hearings.
A VCAT member presiding over a hearing may give a decision at the conclusion of a hearing, or reserve their decision and provide it to parties at a later date.
VCAT hearings are generally open to the public, including media. Access depends on the type of proceeding and whether orders are in place that close the hearing or prevent publication of details.
