Electronic filing of DHHS documents: COVID-19

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the State of Emergency declared across Victoria, the Children’s Court of Victoria is taking steps to reduce the number of people physically attending its venues. This is to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of judicial officers, staff, court users and the broader community.

In accordance with the direction given by Her Honour Judge Chambers, President of the Children’s Court, from Monday 23 March 2020, all material to be filed with the Court by DHHS with respect to child protection proceedings must be filed by email using the addresses provided below.

If urgent action is required, the matter should be directed to the relevant Headquarter Court.

Note - Documents to be filed by DHHS outside business hours with the Magistrates’ Court After hours service will continue to use existing facsimile arrangements. There is no  change to the after-hours process.
