The **Children's Court Clinic** **(Clinic)** is an independent, state-wide service established by Section 37(1) of the _Children's and Young Person's Act 1989_ _(Vic) _and continued in operation by Section 546(1) of the _Children, Youth and Families Act 2005_ (the Act). It conducts assessments and provides reports on children and their families at the request of ChCV magistrates across Victoria, pursuant to Section 547 of the Act. These assessments assist the judiciary with their decision-making in cases before the Court. The Clinic also has a small treatment function in selected cases and is a teaching facility.
The Clinic has a large clinical team of highly qualified and experienced professionals comprising clinical and forensic psychologists, neuropsychologists, developmental and educational psychologists and consultant psychiatrists, who all have specialist knowledge in the areas of Child Protection and juvenile offending, in addition to a small administrative team.
The **Criminal Division** of the ChCV has jurisdiction to hear and determine summarily all offences (other than murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, child homicide, defensive homicide, culpable driving causing death and arson causing death) where the alleged offender was under the age of 18 but of or above the age of 10 years at the time the offence was committed and under the age of 19 when proceedings were commenced in the court.
