Welcome
The Victorian Law Reform Commission (VLRC) is established under the Victorian Law Reform Commission Act 2000 as a central agency for developing law reform in Victoria.
- Late last year the government announced the commission would undertake a review of processes relating to child protection in the Children's Court. The government has asked the commission to provide options for procedural and legislative changes that could better maintain the best interests of children, and the commission has been asked to look at practices in other Australian and international jurisdictions as part of its reference. The commission is currently conducting research and will be holding consultations in the coming months. The commission must report by 30 June 2010.
