Hearings are where all parties present their case, ask questions and provide evidence. VCAT makes a decision to resolve the dispute, for example by ordering one party to pay another party.
If you're part of a residential tenancy case at VCAT, it's important to organise the documents you plan to use as evidence and send them to VCAT and the other parties.
Our Strategic Communications team can help with media questions about specific cases, whether an application has been lodged or withdrawn, names of parties and dates of hearings.
