Legislation
In any SACAT matter, the Tribunal will be operating under at least two pieces of legislation -
- the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013
- the other Act relevant to the application (e.g., the Residential Tenancies Act 1995).
See our jurisdiction list for more details.

You can register for an account to keep track of your applications or apply as a guest for one-off applications.
Accompanying documentation can be uploaded with your application or sent by email at sacat@sacat.sa.gov.au using the lodgement number or SACAT reference number.
