Guiding the highest standards of judicial behaviour

Judge

Make a complaint

We deal with complaints about Victorian judicial officers and Victorian Civil & Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) members. This includes judges, magistrates, coroners and judicial registrars.

PHP Incident

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has issued a critical alert about two serious security vulnerabilities affecting PHP, a widely used general-purpose scripting language for websites.

CSV and jurisdiction digital teams have acted this morning to identify affected websites across the Court Group and have disabled them while the vulnerability is fixed. We expect all patches to be deployed within the next few hours.

Each Court is implementing their business continuity plan and relevant parties, and peak bodies have or will be informed.

This action is precautionary and at this stage there is no evidence of cyber security breach on Courts Group systems.

Court operations today are also unaffected.

Further updates will follow.
