The VCAT (Fees) Regulations 2026 have now been made and will operationally commence from 27 June 2026.
The Regulations, along with a summary of the changes and consultation submissions received, are available at: Remake of Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal fees | Engage Victoria. The REIV made a submission to this review.
The intended outcome of the changes to the Regulations include:
improved financial sustainability of VCAT
improved access to justice for tribunal users with less capacity to pay
updated fees to better reflect the costs of tribunal services
a simplified fee schedule.
This table summarises the new fees.
More information about the fees payable and fee relief measures available from 27 June 2026 can be found on the VCAT Website.
