Queensland legislation related to retirement villages includes the:
- Retirement Villages Act 1999
- Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2009
The Acts are available on the Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel website.
Decisions about retirement village disputes made by:
- the Commercial and Consumer Tribunal before 1 December 2009, can be found in the Queensland Commercial and Consumer Tribunal lists on the Australasian Legal Information Institute website
- QCAT after 1 December 2009 can be found in the other civil disputes matters section on the Supreme Court of Queensland Library website.
Descriptions of QCAT's jurisdiction on this website are general information only. They do not definitively describe the types of applications on which QCAT can make decisions. The relevant legislation determines QCAT's jurisdiction. If you are unsure about your legal rights, you should seek legal advice. Your individual circumstances should guide any actions taken to resolve your dispute.
