General Information About Court - Court Process 


Attending court for a criminal matter can be a daunting experience, particularly for people who have never been involved in the court system before. Understanding the court process can help reduce uncertainty and allow you to better prepare for each stage of your matter.

In Victoria, criminal matters may progress through several stages before reaching a final outcome. The process will depend on factors such as the type of offence, whether a person pleads guilty or not guilty, and the complexity of the case.
