MCV aims to be an innovative, accessible and responsive court that provides quality services to the Victorian community.
About the Role
The Court Services Manager is a pivotal leadership role within the court, leading a multidisciplinary team that supports court users experiencing complex needs and vulnerabilities.

- Proven experience leading high-performing multidisciplinary teams.
- Knowledge of therapeutic, problem-solving or solution-focused approaches within the justice, health or community sectors.
- Understanding of family violence, victim and perpetrator interventions, and risk assessment frameworks.
- Strong stakeholder engagement, influencing and negotiation skills.
- The ability to provide strategic advice, drive service improvements and deliver quality outcomes.
