Common questions
Which tribunal handles my claim?It depends on your state and the claim: QCAT (Queensland), VCAT (Victoria), NCAT for a consumer claim or the Local Court for a business or private debt (New South Wales), ACAT (Australian Capital Territory), NTCAT (Northern Territory), and the Magistrates Court in Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania. Our Programmatic Algorithms select the correct tribunal or court automatically.
What is the filing fee?Filing fees depend on your state and the amount you claim. For an individual, as at 1 July 2026 they run from $64 at NCAT (claims up to $10,000) to $797 in the Magistrates Court of Western Australia (claims over $50,000). They are paid directly to the tribunal or court when you lodge your application. Claim Done's fee is separate and covers preparation only.
Do I need to attend the hearing?Usually yes, unless the tribunal offers a paper determination for small claims. Our Witness Statement and Legal Submissions services prepare the documents you bring to the hearing.
