SACAT legislation

The South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 (SA) and the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Regulations 2015 (SA) establish and set out the functions of SACAT in a general way.

Other relevant Acts confer specific jurisdiction on SACAT, empowering it to hear and determine particular matters. A relevant Act may set out specific processes and procedures that must be followed when SACAT hears and determines a matter under it. If the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 (SA) and a relevant Act are inconsistent, the relevant Act prevails and must be followed [South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 (SA) s 4].

The Law Handbook contains information about certain types of SACAT matters under the various chapters about the relevant Acts, such as Housing, Guardianship and Administration, and Advance Directives.

Current relevant Acts include (but are not limited to):
