We make decisions about the collection of your health information, review decisions by the Patient Review Panel or Chief Medical Officer and resolve complaints about information privacy when the Commissioner for Privacy and Data Protection cannot.
If you believe someone has inappropriately handled your health records you can make an official complaint to the Health Services Commissioner. If the Health Complaints Commissioner cannot resolve the complaint you can ask them to refer the matter to VCAT.
If you believe someone has breached your right to information privacy, for example by inappropriately collecting, using or disclosing your personal information, you can make an official complaint to the Victorian Information Commissioner.
Lawyers may apply to VCAT to review compensation and disciplinary orders imposed on them by the Victorian Legal Services Commissioner under the Legal Profession Uniform Law (Victoria).
VCAT can review decisions made by the Victorian Fisheries Authority under the Fisheries Act 1995 about licences, permits and the transfer of quota units.
