ADVICE 1:     PARTICIPATION BY TELEPHONE CONFERENCE

In order to participate by telephone conference in Tribunal listings the following processes will be adopted.

  1. All parties to proceedings will be required to provide the Tribunal with preferred telephone numbers for participation in hearings.
  2. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN THE TRIBUNAL RINGS YOU FOR YOUR CONFERENCE THE NUMBER WILL APPEAR AS A SYDNEY TELEPHONE NUMBER.  This cannot be altered as it is a feature of the new telephone system at the Tribunals premises.  THERE MAY ALSO BE AN AUTOMATED VOICE ADVISING YOU HAVE JOINED THE CONFERENCE.
  3. Please ensure that when you connect to a conference that you are in a location which is quiet and removed from background noise.
  4. Where members of the public may attend a hearing of the Tribunal, they must notify the Tribunal in advance that they wish to attend and no later than 48 hours prior to the listing.   You will be sent instructions as to how to participate in any conference.  If you attend a listing, you are not permitted to interrupt or speak during the proceedings, unless the presiding officer invites persons to speak (eg. in Directions Hearings the officer may wish to confirm if any member of the public seeks to make an Application to Join the appeal.)

PLEASE NOTE: The location from where you connect, whether as a party or a member of the public, is considered “Court Premises” pursuant to the Court Security Act 2017.

The recording of proceedings whether in person, by telephone conference or video conference is not permitted under any circumstances and you must obey lawful directions issued by a Tribunal officer as if present at the Tribunal hearing rooms.
