Tribunal drafting

Tribunals are meant to be accessible to people without lawyers, but the paperwork can still be overwhelming. Rebel Advocate prepares clear, well-organised documents for applicants and respondents in VCAT, NCAT and other state and territory tribunals.

Not a lawyer, not a law practice. Administrative support only — no legal advice or representation.

Steven Bailey is not a solicitor or barrister, does not hold a practising certificate and does not give legal advice or represent anyone. Tribunal drafting is administrative and drafting support only: organising your documents, setting out your account clearly, preparing chronologies and evidence bundles, and tracking forms and deadlines. Rebel Advocate does not give legal advice, predict outcomes or appear for you. You remain the party to your matter and you make the decisions in it. For legal advice, please speak to a solicitor, a community legal centre or Legal Aid in your state.

What it is

Tribunals are meant to be accessible to people without lawyers, but the paperwork can still be overwhelming. Many people have every email, receipt, photo and text message they need, and no idea how to turn them into something a tribunal member can follow.

Rebel Advocate prepares clear, well-organised documents for civil and administrative tribunal matters in any Australian state or territory, such as VCAT, NCAT, QCAT, SAT, SACAT, ACAT and TASCAT. Rebel Advocate takes what you have and turns it into a clear, indexed evidence bundle, a dated chronology of what happened, and tidy, complete filings, so your side is set out properly and nothing gets missed.

Rebel Advocate does not give legal advice, predict outcomes or appear for you. You stay the party to your matter and you make the decisions.

Who it’s for

Applicants or respondents in civil and administrative tribunal matters under $50,000 where no barrister is involved: tenants and landlords, consumers and traders, owners and builders, neighbours, and small businesses, in any Australian state or territory.

It suits people who are representing themselves, or who want their paperwork in order before they talk to a lawyer.
