Official legal websites can help you locate legislation, court forms, procedural information and published decisions. They do not decide how the law applies to your particular facts.
Victorian Legislation
The Victorian Legislation website is the authorised starting point for current Victorian Acts and statutory rules. Check commencement, amendments and the version in force at the relevant date.
AustLII
AustLII is a high-volume legal information service containing legislation, cases and other materials. Coverage and currency vary. For critical work, confirm the decision and current law through authorised sources.
VCAT and court websites
VCAT, the Magistrates’ Court, County Court and Supreme Court publish information about jurisdiction, forms, fees and procedure. The correct forum, document and deadline depend on the claim and orders already made.
Federal family-law forum
The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia publishes forms, practice information and court resources for federal family-law proceedings.
What websites cannot do
A website cannot reliably identify all causes of action, defences, evidentiary issues, limitation periods or strategic consequences from a short description. Obtain advice before filing, responding or allowing a date to pass.
