All Magistrates’ Courts within Victorian have a work experience program for students who are over 15 years of age. Work experience at the Magistrates’ Court is worthwhile if you are considering a career in the legal profession. You should contact the Senior Registrar of the Magistrates’ Court where you wish to do your work experience. Contact details are available in the Court Locations page of this website.

If you wish to participate in the Magistrates' Court Victoria work experience program, there are several things you will have to know and do.

Step 1: You will need to contact the court you wish to perform your work experience at, select one of the following links for contact details Metropolitan Courts or Country Victoria Courts, and find out if they have places available.
