QCAT

Completly no star, during hearing Judge had said wrong name and weakly rental that confused me initial. They didn't accept monthly statement and didn't know the word OWING - just know ARREARS and receipt. They didn't prepared to read all documents before hearing. They wanted me paid for another hearing ; no , i would not wast my money for saying wrong information and did not know the meaning of owe and arrears, receipt and statement in court room. They made and dressed themselves look attractive and smart, truthfully they are not qualify as judges .

Truly abysmal. Lets do a quick recap on the mission of QCAT: "To actively resolve disputes in a way that is fair, just, accessible, quick and inexpensive." I have had the wrong case notes sent to me. Multiple dates moved with no explanation. Followed every escalation path in QCAT to resolve this in an expedient manner and had utterly inane responses all the way up to the ministers office. My case took approximately 6 months for a hearing and has not progressed since (another 6 months). Call and try to get an update? That takes 90 minutes, and generally the answer is - "that's how long things take". Nothing about QCAT is "quick" or "just". Truly a waste of tax payers’ money.

No stars!!! Truly horrible!!! QCAT does not have the best interests of Applicants and victims in mind. They are unfair, biased, prejudiced and unsympathetic. Everything bad other reviewers have said about QCAT is completely correct. It is a waste of time and money. There should be a Tribunal to make complaints about QCAT to. QCAT discriminates against and victimises the people who go to them for help about complaints in contravention of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991. It really is unbelievable. But it is Queensland afterall. Move to another state.

Extraordinary. The 'Judge Judy' adjudicator found it amusing to question me (full time tertiary student/parent) as to why I didn't get a job (during lockdown) to pay off our rent in arrears, rather than investigate why we given a Notice To Leave (and told to expect new applicant inspections) during the Covid moratorium, why our initial letter to the owner requesting rent freeze was blocked, and why a reference from previous building management to cite perfect 2 year tenancy prior to Covid, all blocked by Stockwell. Don't rent with Stockwell Pty Ltd, and dont expect a fair hearing from QCAT. Judy Judy wanted us to be evicted immediately, but we negotiated to get 6 weeks to find home - at Xmas time, and we have 3 year old to care for. Extraordinary clear bias in favour of Stockwell, via a humiliating and interrogative process.

No stars. Very dysfunctional and unfair agency. Judges ignore important evidence and just dismiss cases based on their own personal opinion, not the law. There is no legal justice through QCAT.
