Magistrates hear and determine cases in the criminal division, civil division, in the specialist courts and in the family violence division.

The Chief Magistrate is the head of the jurisdiction and provides leadership to over 150 Judicial Officers. Supporting the Chief Magistrate is the Chief Executive Officer and almost 1200 employees engaged to provide a range of functions to ensure the delivery of justice services to the Victorian community.

With a vision to be an innovative, accessible court delivering fair, transparent and efficient justice, the Magistrates' Court seeks a Chief Executive Officer to support the Court's vision as it continues its journey of transformation to a future ready court of excellence that reinforces public trust and confidence in the justice system.
