Commonwealth Administrative Tribunal

The Commonwealth Administrative Tribunal (CAT) is an independent body that helps resolve disputes involving Australian government agencies and employees. It reviews decisions related to employment, entitlements, and certain governmental actions to ensure they are fair and lawful. The tribunal provides a fair and impartial process for individuals to challenge decisions made by government departments, offering a quicker and less formal alternative to courts. Its goal is to promote transparency, accountability, and fair treatment in administrative decisions affecting government employees and related parties.
