Individuals, organisations, vocational boards and government agencies can apply to the State Administrative Tribunal to make decisions, settle disputes and review decisions.
Which matters can be brought to the SAT?
A wide range of issues can be brought before the SAT, but they all depend on laws that specifically empower the SAT to make a decision. These laws include Acts, regulations or town planning schemes and are referred to here as enabling laws.
To bring a matter before the SAT you must identify the relevant enabling law. The SAT has designed the SAT Wizard to help you.
