About the Children's Court of Victoria
The Children's Court of Victoria (ChCV) is a specialist court that hears and determines cases in two divisions.
The Family Division hears and determines cases involving the care and protection of Victorian children who are at risk of harm.
The Criminal Division hears and determines the criminal charges brought against children between the ages of ***** years.
As a specialist and dedicated court, we are able to focus solely on responding to the particular needs and interests of children, young people and their families.
This focus guides our approach to the delivery of judicial, dispute resolution, registry and support services, as well as the physical environment of our courts.
The ChCV expertly and fairly applies the law in cases involving children and young people.
We work closely with youth justice, legal services, child protection and other community-based services to provide a multi-disciplinary court response to address the best interest of children in need of protection,



whilst promoting the accountability and rehabilitation of young offenders and in doing so, improving community safety.
