The Magistrates' Court of Victoria (MCV) is a jurisdiction within the Court Services Victoria statutory authority and has a long history of providing justice for the people of Victoria in metropolitan and regional courts across the state. The Court determines in excess of 300,000 cases per annum at 51 venues, equating to approximately 90 percent of all cases that come before Victorian courts each year. The Court aims to be an innovative, accessible, and responsive court that provides quality services to the Victorian community.

The Magistrates' Court of Victoria (MCV) is expanding the Assessment and Referral Court (ARC) to all headquarter courts, including Sunshine Court in early 2025. ARC is part of a suite of therapeutic innovations at MCV. ARC is a solution-focused court underpinned by therapeutic jurisprudence and recovery oriented mental health practice for people facing criminal matters who have a mental illness/or cognitive impairment.

Hearings are less formal, non-adversarial and take a collaborative approach to address both well-being and the underlying causes of offending behaviours.

The role provides longer term (up to 12 months) case management support to people with complex mental illness and/or cognitive impairment needs, participating in the ARC. This role also provides assistance to Court Support Services at Sunshine Magistrates' Court including with the Court Integrated Services Program.

**About you**
- This role demands extensive case management expertise to provide client centred, strengths based and solution-focused support.
- Tertiary qualifications (Diploma level highly desirable) and/or relevant case management experience (such as forensic, family violence, AOD, homelessness and/or mental health).
