Navigating the sea of health and justice needs in the delivery of Tribunal

2022 COAT VICTORIA CONFERENCE

The Council of Australian Tribunals (COAT) is a national body, through which tribunals come together to examine and compare ideas, working methods, organisation, and management with the aim of promoting and developing best practice models for tribunals; and, to provide a forum for education, research, and reform in the field of administrative justice.

The Victorian Chapter of COAT has a diverse membership across, both Commonwealth and State-based tribunals, including the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal, the Mental Health Tribunal, and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

This conference will:

• explore the challenge of providing tribunal services that respond to the health justice needs of users
• reflect on and discuss the person-centred, collaborative, therapeutic and problem-solving approaches to decision-making that have been adopted by some tribunals
• examine the skills and training civil and administrative decision-makers need to meet the community’s expectations of future tribunals.

Cost:

• $190.00 (Member)
• $220.00 (Non-member)
• $115.00 (Students)
