Answer: (A)

VCAT’s jurisdiction is organized into divisions, each handling a different area of law to provide quicker, lower-cost resolutions for specific types of disputes. The divisions listed cover the main areas VCAT deals with: Residential Tenancies handles landlord–tenant disputes like rent issues and bond refunds; the Civil Division settles a broad range of civil disputes within VCAT’s scope and limits; the Human Rights Division addresses discrimination and equal opportunity complaints; the Planning and Environment Division deals with planning permits and environmental planning matters; and the Administrative Division reviews government decisions and certain administrative actions. Other areas, such as Family Law or taxation matters, are not within VCAT’s divisions and are handled by other courts or tribunals.
