State Administrative Tribunal of Western Australia
- State Administrative Tribunal of Western Australia
The State Administrative Tribunal of Western Australia is responsible for reviewing decisions of some Western Australia government departments and local government bodies. The Tribunal was established in 2005 as an independent body for the purpose of review of a range of administrative decisions. Individuals, businesses, public officials and vocational boards can bring before the Tribunal applications related to civil, commercial and personal matters.
The tribunal is conducted in a less formal manner than a court and is presided over by either a single member or a panel of three members (depending on the division).
As with other tribunals, the SAT encourages parties to negotiate their own reolution through mediation prior to any hearing. The resolution devised by the parties can then be made official at the hearing by a member of the tribunal. If this fails, the tribunal can make a decision which is then legally binding upon both parties.
