Changes to Administrative Review Tribunal attendance

The Administrative Review Tribunal has announced some changes to how parties attend case events conducted by registrars beginning in 2026.

From March 2026 onwards, parties will be required to join via Microsoft Teams, using a hyperlink provided in the Tribunal listing notice rather than joining by telephone.

The Tribunal expects to see improved timeliness and more productive case events as a result of this change. The change will also create a consistent user experience for parties attending Tribunal events remotely, whether during the case management phase or for substantive hearings. The Tribunal is in the process of updating its website to reflect this change.

A more detailed summary of what is changing is available here detailing when the changes will happen and how you can provide any feedback about the changes.
