The professional association of Victorian barristers who provide legal representation & advice without fear or favour.
About us
The Victorian Bar is a private, voluntary, self-funded, non-profit professional association of barristers who practise in Victoria. Barristers connected to the Victorian Bar’s LinkedIn company profile are independent self-employed members of the Victorian Bar. The work of the barrister is built on the proud tradition of providing strong and independent legal representation and advice without fear or favour to all in the community. Since 1891, Victoria has had a fused or amalgamated legal profession. That is, there has been a single admission to practice as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Victoria. The terminology changed with the Legal Profession Act 2004 (Vic) to admission as an “Australian lawyer” and licensing to practise as an “Australian legal practitioner” and “local legal practitioner”. "Barrister” is defined in the Legal Profession Act 2004 (Vic) as “an Australian legal practitioner who engages in legal practice solely as a barrister”.

All too often we are hearing tragic stories of how legal assistance services are having to turn those most in need away due to a lack of resourcing and capacity. That’s why the Law Council and the legal profession are calling on all governments to increase funding to the legal assistance sector. Urgent action is needed as confirmed NLAP funding ends in less than 12 months. We need to ensure that renewed funding is significantly increased in line with Dr Mundy’s recommendations. Join us to create change by supporting this campaign. Let's make a difference to fund justice and empower communities. Share the LCA’s Open Letter on your social media networks. Help us spread the word. For more information and other materials, visit: www.A2J4ALL.au #A2J4ALL
