The VCAT process

When an application is made to VCAT, this starts a legal process. There are documents to organise and things you need to do.

Transport Accident Act 1986

VCAT can review certain decisions made by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) under the Transport Accident Act 1986.

End a case by dismissal or strike out

When you respond to an application against you, you can ask for VCAT to dismiss a case or end it in a strike out.

Apply for an injunction (an order to do or stop doing something)

In some cases, VCAT can make an order for a party to do or stop doing something that may cause damage to another party. This is called an injunction.

How to communicate with VCAT and other parties

Understand when and how to communicate with VCAT and other parties to your case.

Legal and professional representation

If you want to use a lawyer or other professional, you need to understand if and how you can have one.

Urgent hearings

If there is an issue in your case that needs to be urgently addressed, you can request an urgent hearing at VCAT.

When VCAT starts a case

When we receive an application and the correct fee, we first assess it to make sure VCAT has the powers to resolve the case and then open a new case.
