Melbourne Magistrates Courts’ secure waiting area

The secure waiting area is a dedicated waiting space for Affected Family Members (AFMs). Court staff will determine access to the waiting space based on information available and consultation with relevant services. Access can be arranged on the day at Court or by prior arrangement preferably via PCI form but also via phone or email. Support persons and lawyers with an AFM will be allowed access to the secure waiting area based on capacity each day.

This is an exciting step towards providing a full safe waiting area at Melbourne Court, and we are excited to be progressing towards this.
