Ways to resolve your dispute

Solving a dispute yourself can be the fastest and cheapest option.
Getting help to solve a dispute may involve mediation or conciliation. It can save time and money for you and the community.
You may need to go to a court or a tribunal for more formal resolution. It costs time and money but gives you a result which can be enforced.

Legal advice

Find a solicitor, law firm, barrister or free legal services.

Body corporate disputes

Formal resolution of many disputes between neighbours in a body corporate can only be dealt with through the Office of the Commissioner for Body Corporate and Community Management.
