We don’t know exactly how long each hearing will take. If we can, we will let you know how long we think it will take in the notice we send you.    The time a hearing takes depends on how complex the case is. They can range from one hour to a few days.  Your hearing may start later than the time listed. If you are planning for your hearing day and need to organise travel to VCAT, parking or services on the day, we recommend you plan to be at VCAT for the full day.  Make sure you know the VCAT location where your hearing is at so that you can plan your travel on your hearing day.
