Appeal a decision

VCAT decisions can only be appealed at the Supreme Court of Victoria on a question of law. You must apply for permission to appeal a VCAT decision. This is called seeking leave to appeal.

Enforce a VCAT order

If the other party in your dispute does not follow the order that VCAT has given, you can enforce it through a court. We do not enforce a decision or order.

Fix a mistake in a VCAT order

If you notice a mistake in a VCAT order you can ask for a correction order.

Reviews and rehearings

If you or your representative had a reasonable excuse for not attending the hearing, you can apply for a rehearing.
