In 1994 the Administrative and Disciplinary Division of the District Court was created within the South Australian District Court [see District Court Act 1991 s 8(3)]. The division has jurisdiction to hear matters under some State Acts, however many of the Acts formerly in this jurisdiction now refer jurisdiction to the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
The process for administrative appeals to the Administrative and Disciplinary Division of the District Court is set out in Part 6 Division 2 of the District Court Act 1991 (SA) and in Chapter 19, Part 14 of the Uniform Civil Rules 2020 (SA).
