Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2009

The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2009 establishes the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT), which resolves various disputes and reviews decisions related to administrative actions, civil claims, consumer rights, and specific licensing issues. Its goal is to provide a streamlined, accessible, and less formal alternative to courts, enabling individuals and organizations to seek fair outcomes efficiently. QCAT handles matters such as tenancy disputes, minor civil claims, guardianship, and administrative reviews, ensuring that issues are resolved fairly, promptly, and with less complexity than traditional courts.
