Costs

Costs are not to be awarded for proceedings involving an administrative review decision for the purposes of the Victims Rights and Support Act 2013 (see clause 13 of Schedule 3 of Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013). 

Appeal rights

You cannot appeal to the Appeal Panel of NCAT against an administrative review decision made by the Tribunal about a victims recognition payment (see clause 15 of Schedule 3 of Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013).

In some instances there is a right of appeal to the NSW Supreme Court. If you are not sure of your appeal rights you should seek legal advice.​
