All Justice Service Centres (JSCs) receptions across Victoria closed to the general public on Wednesday, 25 March 2020 in order to reduce face-to-face contact between staff and members of the community. The decision is in response to the latest federal and state measures to help prevent the further spread of coronavirus.
Reception services will be delivered via telephone and many of our services are available online or via alternative methods (visit their websites directly for more information).
The health and safety of our staff and the community is our top priority. For more information on the coronavirus (COVID-19) visit the DHHS website (External link).
