We advise that you contact our Member Support Centre in the first instance if you’ve been advised that a complaint or charge has been laid against you by the Victoria Police Force’s Professional Standards Command or the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission.
The Legal & Discipline Section is managed and staffed by a team of current serving and former police members who are experienced in administrative law and dealing with the Force’s internal discipline system.

- Representation on Joint Working Party with the Victoria Police Force on the review of the discipline system;
- Negotiation on Force policy in matters relating to discipline processes and
- Representation on the Discipline Review Users Group with the Police Registration and Services Board and Victoria Police
