How to apply

1. Attempt self-resolution first — use the BCCM self-resolution forms (Form 36, 37a, or 37b released November 2025) to document the issue and attempt informal resolution with the body corporate or committee.
2. If self-resolution fails, decide whether to apply for conciliation (Form 22 — suitable for most disputes about levies, by-laws, common property, and committee decisions) or adjudication (Form 15 — suitable where a formal binding order is needed).
3. Download the relevant form and guide from the Queensland Publications portal: search 'BCCM Form 22' for conciliation or 'BCCM Form 15' for adjudication at publications.qld.gov.au.
4. Read the Commissioner's practice directions before completing your form — these are mandatory and available at qld.gov.au/law/housing-and-neighbours/body-corporate/disputes/dispute-services/practice-directions.
5. Complete the form in full, attaching all supporting documents including relevant correspondence, meeting minutes, levy notices, or by-law provisions.
6. Pay the application fee: $114.10 for a conciliation application, $114.10 for adjudication (final order only), or $239.80 for adjudication seeking both interim and final orders (fees effective 1 July 2025). A fee waiver form is available if you cannot afford this.
7. Lodge your completed form by post to GPO Box 1049, Brisbane QLD 4001, or follow the contact method specified in Practice Direction 11 for electronic submission.
8. Attend the conciliation conference or respond to the adjudicator's information requests as directed — the adjudicator may make a binding order without a hearing if documents are sufficient.
