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 characterised by creativity, innovation, flexibility, and quality delivery.
About the role
The Court is seeking expressions of interest from applicants for an anticipated vacancy within the Court's small team of secretaries. This is a rare opportunity to work across all divisions of the Court (Court of Appeal, Criminal Division, Commercial Division, Common Law Division, and Associate Judges Chambers).

The main component of this role is typing of judgments, some correspondence and memoranda, reading through judgments for consistency and compliance with inhouse style guides, templates and the Australian Guide to Legal Citation, liaising with the Law Library of Victoria in relation to the publication of judgments, filing and organising some travel arrangements.
The role is hybrid, with a mandatory onsite component based in the Melbourne CBD.
