Hearing coming up at VCAT? Upload your submissions, evidence or form as a PDF, Word document or photo. We print it exactly as uploaded and post it with Australia Post: $12 by regular post, folded, for up to 12 pages, or $20 by Express Post for up to 20 pages, then $0.30 a page, GST included.
Unopost is an independent printing and posting service, not part of VCAT or the Victoria Government. We post what you upload; we can't tell you what to file or whether it meets a deadline.
What VCAT asks for
In residential tenancy cases, VCAT says you must give the other parties a copy of any evidence you'll use at the hearing, by email or post, then upload proof that you sent it.
Your notice of hearing and any directions for your case come first. Read VCAT's guidance.
VCAT's postal address
All matters, including residential tenancies
VCATGPO Box 5408Melbourne VIC 3001Laid out to type into the Send to fields. Copied from VCAT's contact page in September 2026: check it's still current before you post.
Posting to the other party
VCAT leaves it to you to give the landlord, tenant, agent, builder or other party a copy of what you're relying on. Choose Several under Send to and paste VCAT's address and theirs, so you post it to both with one payment.
Every letter is tracked, and we email you the Australia Post tracking number once it's lodged. Express Post can add signature on delivery for $5, a record of the handover. Whether that's the proof VCAT needs is up to VCAT.
Posting to VCAT before a deadline
Pay by 2:30pm Melbourne time on a business day and it's posted that day, otherwise the next business day. Express Post usually arrives the next business day within Australia Post's network; regular post takes 3 to 7 business days.
Those are Australia Post's estimates, not a guarantee. If the deadline is a day or two away, use Express Post, or lodge online or in person where VCAT allows it.
