New tribunal to help Queenslanders resolve disputes
Source: Queensland. Attorney-General . Media Release
"The biggest shake-up in Queensland’s judicial system for 50 years takes effect, with the new Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) starting operations. Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations Cameron Dick said QCAT provided a new way for Queenslanders to resolve civil and administrative disputes. He said the amalgamation of 23 jurisdictions into a one-stop shop made it easier for Queenslanders to access the justice system. “QCAT will focus on resolving disputes, reviewing decisions of government agencies and statutory bodies, making guardianship and administration orders, and conducting disciplinary proceedings for various professions and occupations,” Mr Dick said."
