We can’t give you legal advice or tell you what to say at VCAT. We can give you these tips:

You can bring someone with you to your hearing for support. This support person could be anyone you choose, including a friend or family member.

If you want someone else to represent you, for example, a family member or friend, you must put this in writing and give it to them.

You can use your own electronic device at a hearing, for example a laptop, tablet, smartphone or USB. 
 

If there is more than one applicant in an owners corporation case, one person can represent the others as their ‘agent’. 

You may be able to force a witness to come to VCAT or give us a document if that person refuses. This is called a ‘summons’. 

We offer a range of support services including interpreters,

If you need an interpreter, contact us to arrange a professional interpreter (at no cost to you) before

If you’re affected by family violence, we have a family violence support worker who can support you.
