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

When you come to a VCAT hearing and give evidence at VCAT you need to support what you say with originals of documents.

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
