Children's Court Matters

The law and young people – we understand the law, we can help.

The Children's Court hears cases involving youth aged 10-17 at the time of the alleged offence. The offender can still attend the Children’s Court until they turn 19. The Children’s Court in Victoria places a greater emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment.

Our team of expert lawyers want the best possible outcome for you or your child. We are experienced at working with young people and will help you or your child in every aspect of the case.
