About Us

Court Services Victoria provides corporate services and facilities to support the performance of the judicial, quasi-judicial and administrative functions of Victoria's courts and tribunal, Judicial College and Judicial Commission. 

Collectively, Victoria's Supreme, County, Magistrates', Children's, and Coroners courts, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), the Judicial College of Victoria, the Judicial Commission of Victoria, and Court Services Victoria (CSV) are referred to as the ‘Courts Group'. 

Our people enable the Courts Group to deliver on each jurisdiction's own strategic priorities while also pursuing strategic opportunities that are interconnected and deliver benefits more broadly.

The Magistrates' Court of Victoria (MCV) has a long history of providing justice for the people of Victoria in metropolitan and regional courts across the state. The MCV determines in excess of 200,000 cases per annum at 51 venues, dealing with over 90 percent of all adult cases that come before Victorian courts each year.  MCV aims to be an innovative, accessible and responsive court that provides quality services to the Victorian community.

ARC is a solution-focused court underpinned by principles of therapeutic jurisprudence and recovery-oriented mental health practice.  The purpose of the Assessment and Referral Court (ARC) is to meet the needs of people facing matters in the Magistrates Court who have a mental illness/or cognitive impairment.  Eligible individual scan engage with ARC for up to 12 months and their matters will typically be heard by the same Magistrate.  Hearings are designed to be less formal, non-adversarial and take a collaborative approach to identifying and addressing the underlying causes of the person's offending behaviours and reviewing their progress towards positive change.

CISP provides support to accused on bail and coordinates referrals to community-based services like drug and alcohol treatment, crisis accommodation, disability and mental health services.
