The Supreme Court of Victoria is the state’s highest court, handling the most serious criminal and civil matters. Although most proceedings take place in Melbourne, the court serves all Victorians by hearing cases in the region of origin whenever feasible. The Trial Division administers and hears cases, while decisions can be appealed to the Court of Appeal. The judiciary comprises the Chief Justice, the President of the Court of Appeal, judges, associate judges, and judicial registrars. Based in Melbourne, Victoria, the court operates within the government administration sector and employs a substantial staff to support its work. In 2026, the judiciary saw staffing changes, with announcements of promotions and appointments, including Katrina Bochner's upcoming promotion to Justice and Andrea Michaels' appointment as associate justice.
