QCAT may require you to file a response if you are named as a respondent in a matter, so QCAT can consider your points of view.
In most civil matters, the respondent is expected to provide a response to the initial application or referral in some form within specific timeframes. In certain civil matters the respondent can also lodge a counter application against other parties.
If you do not respond within a certain timeframe in some cases, there may be a risk QCAT will make a decision in favour of the applicant without further notice to the respondent.
