The richly diverse Victorian community presents the Court with a challenge to find innovative ways to communicate with, inform and educate, the community about the work of the Court. This website is an important aspect of meeting that challenge.

The Court has recently embarked on an ambitious series of initiatives with the launch of the ‘New Directions for the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria 2008-2011’ project. The project will develop a leading model of management and administration to meet the needs of the broad spectrum of court users and improve the transparency and accountability of the Court.

The paramount duty of courts remains the impartial administration of case-by-case justice. The Court also has an important responsibility for delivering high quality registry services. The Court values the strong engagement it has with the community and will use this website and other means of communication to build confidence in the justice system and greater community understanding of both the judicial role and the significance of an independent court system for the whole Victorian community.
