As the successful applicant, you will have the ability to efficiently handle and prepare busy court lists and to manage competing priorities effectively, whilst providing administrative and practical support to your colleagues in Court.

The role promotes the opportunity to develop and maintain collaborative relationships within the expansive Victoria Police workforce. There will be an expectation that you work with internal and external stakeholders across agencies as part of a broad network that will ensure cooperative and proactive approaches to addressing community harm.

This includes triaging telephone calls and enquiries, the coordination and management of incoming and outgoing documents and briefs of evidence and the preparation of court lists (documents) in advance of hearing dates.
