Consumers and businesses can get advice from Consumer Affairs about a range of topics, including building and renovating, business licensing and regulation, buying and selling property, product safety, renting, shopping and trading.

Honorary Justice Services Support (HJSS) is responsible for appointing and managing honorary justice volunteers, a collective group consisting of Justices of the Peace (JPs), and bail justices. Justice Service Centres do not have a Justice of the Peace on staff.

The Births, Deaths and Marriages’ Marguk-bulok koolin-ik Team (Aboriginal Outreach) is here to assist mob to access our services.

The team’s services are not available at this Justice Service Centre.

The unit promotes the partnership of the Koori community and government, by facilitating community engagement initiatives to build strong networks and enable wide participation in the delivery of Koori justice-related policies, programs and initiatives.

People can settle their differences informally, fairly and for free through the Dispute  Settlement Centre of Victoria, providing a less costly and faster option than going to court.

Justice Officers can take payments or assist you with an enquiry.
