Sheriff's Officer

Sheriff's officers are responsible for enforcing warrants and orders issued by the courts, making members of the public accountable for unpaid fines and contributing to a safer Victoria. They have the power to demand and collect payments, apply a wheel clamp to a vehicle, seize and remove property for the purpose of sale, and arrest a person named in a warrant.

On any day you could be working with someone with years of unpaid traffic fines to get them resolved, a company to collect money they owe from a VCAT hearing, a homeowner who has ignored requests from their bank to bring their mortgage payments up to date, or someone who has failed to appear in court as required. Every day is different, with recent challenges and experiences. Most of the work is outdoors, with a combination of early and late shifts.

Hours and Work Schedule

You will work either day or afternoon shifts, covering our operational hours of 7am to 9.30pm, across a Monday to Friday roster and you won't work public holidays. Occasionally, special operations may be scheduled at night, on weekends or public holidays. Advance notice will be provided in these circumstances.



You work eight‑day fortnights, which means you can look forward to a four‑day weekend every second week.
