Navigating the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) can be overwhelming, especially if you're trying to recover money without hiring a lawyer. From confusing forms to unfamiliar legal processes, many people simply don't know where to start.

In this episode, Lidia Vicca explains why she created her Confidently Handle Your QCAT Claim course, who it's designed for, what you'll learn, and how it helps everyday Queenslanders confidently prepare and manage their own QCAT claim. She also discusses why relying on generative AI for legal documents can create serious problems in legal proceedings.
