The Supreme Court of Victoria is the highest court in Victoria and comprises the Court of Appeal and the Trial Division. The Court deals with major criminal and civil matters, plus appeals against decisions of lower courts.

The Supreme Court of Victoria recognises that its people are integral to its ability to meet and exceed community expectations and to achieve its goal of being an outstanding superior court. We continually strive to create a high-performance workplace that is characterized by creativity, innovation, flexibility, and quality delivery.

The Supreme Court Library is the library of the Supreme Court of Victoria. It is a unified library supporting all jurisdictions in Victoria, as well as barristers and solicitors, who as members of the Victorian legal profession have access as of right.
