5. Speak at a hearing

When you speak at a hearing:

  • give a brief summary of your submission
  • you do not need to read out your submission as the panel read it before the hearing
  • do not use the hearing as an opportunity to talk about different issues.

When we confirm the hearing arrangements with you, we will tell you:

  • the time you can speak on the day
  • how long you can speak for.
