The Victorian Law Reform Commission has six part-time commissioners and a full-time chairperson. Full-time commissioners may be appointed to particular projects. 

Each of the commissioners works intensively on one or more projects in what are called divisions of the commission. All commissioners are involved in decision making about the recommendations in reports published by the commission.

The chairperson and part-time commissioners are appointed for terms determined by the government.

The commissioners are supported by staff who organise and carry out the consultations, handle administration, and research, write and produce the commission’s publications.
