Who is leading the change
Court Services Victoria
The Magistrates’ Court of Victoria consider for each court:
- capping lists of family violence matters at a level that allows magistrates enough time to hear each matter
- staggering family violence lists to provide greater guidance to parties as to when cases will be heard
- increasing the number of days dedicated to listing family violence matters
- introducing benchmarks for the maximum amount of time parties should wait for a listed family violence matter to be heard
