It is not easy to get a re-hearing. A re-hearing may only be permitted if a Member decides that sufficient reason has been given for any absence. An application for a re-hearing must be in the form of a Statutory Declaration received by the Principal Registrar, VCAT, Civil Claims List within 14 days of a party becoming aware of a Tribunal order being made. A party may seek leave to appeal a decision to the Supreme Court of Victoria. If you want to appeal you should seek legal advice immediately after VCAT has made an order.
Time limits apply.
Video conferencing facilities Parties who wish to avoid travelling may, at their own cost, request video conferencing facilities for the hearing. Contact VCAT for further information. You may also wish to seek legal advice. Interpreters for the hearing If you need an interpreter to attend the hearing, you should contact VCAT who will arrange for an interpreter at no cost to any party. Using relatives and friends at the hearing is not usually acceptable.
