The Magistrates’ Court of Victoria (MCV) is a jurisdiction within the Court Services Victoria statutory authority and has a long history of providing justice for the people of Victoria in metropolitan and regional courts across the state.

The CMCOP commenced at five Specialist Family Violence Courts (SFVC) on 1 January 2020 and further expansion of counselling programs is planned for 2022.
