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.
ChCV
The Children's Court of Victoria (ChCV) is a specialist court that hears and determines cases in two divisions. The Family Division hears and determines cases involving the care and protection of Victorian children who are at risk of harm. The Criminal Division hears and determines the criminal charges brought against children between the ages of 10-17 years.
As a specialist and dedicated court, we are able to focus solely on responding to the particular needs and interests of children, young people and their families. This focus guides our approach to the delivery of judicial, dispute resolution, registry and support services, as well as the physical environment of our courts.
The ChCV expertly and fairly applies the law in cases involving children and young people. We work closely with youth justice, legal services, child protection and other community-based services to provide a multi-disciplinary court response to address the best interest of children in need of protection, whilst promoting the accountability and rehabilitation of young offenders and in doing so, improving community safety.

- overseeing day-to-day Court registry operations, including legal, administrative and quasi-judicial functions
- providing authoritative advice on Court policies, practices and procedures
- supporting the development and implementation of operational policies and initiatives
- assisting with the leadership, development and performance management of staff
- building and maintaining effective relationships with judicial officers and key stakeholders
- preparing reports, correspondence and other operational documentation
- coordinating listing and case management activities to support efficient service delivery
- working collaboratively to support effective Court operations and case management practices.
About You
The ideal candidate will demonstrate extensive knowledge of legislation, policies and procedures relevant to the Children's Court of Victoria in addition to:
- the ability to build effective relationships and work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders
- resilience and sound judgement in a complex and demanding environment
- confidence in providing advice, managing challenging situations and responding constructively to feedback
- experience leading and supporting teams to achieve operational outcomes
