In case you missed it, the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) commenced on January 1 2014 in place of the Consumer, Trader & Tenancy Tribunal (CTTT).
NCAT integrated the existing 23 separate NSW tribunals in an effort to provide a single (less confusing) gateway in a bid to improve the accessibility, efficiency and accountability of the tribunal system.
To maintain consistency and transparency across the board, NCAT now consists of five different divisions – consumer and commercial, administrative and equal opportunity, occupational and regulatory, guardianship and victim support, in hopes of increasing confidence in the public with using these services.
Matters that had been lodged or in progress with CTTT before January 1st do not have to be relodged.
