Public Hearing: Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018

Among our advocacy focus points, QLS concentrated on the need for a general right to legal representation in the Tribunal; the need to adequately resource QCAT in its expanding jurisdiction; and the need to better protect consumers in minor motor vehicle disputes, when only one party is insured and the party at fault is unclear.
