TASCAT fees, forms & process
Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal
Guardianship, anti-discrimination, planning, and (some) tenancy streams. TribunalReady brings the official TASCAT filing fees, the right front door for your matter, and every official Tasmania resource into one place — built for self-represented people.
What makes Tasmania different
Residential tenancy disputes are NOT heard at TASCAT — they run through the Residential Tenancy Commissioner and the Magistrates Court. TASCAT is new (2021) and still expanding.

⚠️ Tasmanian tenancy/bond is NOT at TASCAT — it goes to the Residential Tenancy Commissioner (CBOS) and the Magistrates Court. TASCAT also has no general minor-civil money jurisdiction. Listed planning/strata amounts read from the official FY2026/27 schedule on 9 September 2026. Other streams have separate fees.
