Does the Supreme Court note bind VCAT?
No. Confirm VCAT’s own direction.
Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal
VCAT and generative AI
VCAT is a different forum from the Supreme Court and from the County Court. Look for VCAT’s own direction before you set a disclosure clause.
Confirm with VCAT
SC Gen 25 does not apply to VCAT merely because both sit in Victoria. Check the tribunal’s current direction rather than assuming the Supreme Court note applies.
VCAT’s own current direction, if it has published one
Disclosure checklist
Work through this against the instrument, not instead of it. The checks do not record that the filing is done.
- Search VCAT’s current practice notes and directions for an AI rule.
- If none is published, do not invent one from SC Gen 25. Still verify citations and keep personal information out of a public tool.
- Record which direction you opened, and the date you opened it.

Questions
What if VCAT has not published a note?
Do not borrow SC Gen 25 and call it VCAT’s rule. Verify the contents and protect personal information anyway, and record that you checked for a direction.
What is the effective date?
Only a date printed on a VCAT instrument. This page does not supply one.
