Victoria’s legal regulator driving meaningful and lasting change for lawyers and the wider community

The Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner (VLSB+C) annual report has been tabled in Parliament today.

Annual reports

Our annual reports contain valuable information about the legal profession in Victoria and the work we do. In our report you can find statistics about lawyers, the number and types of complaints, and the programs of work we undertake to ensure Victorians have trust and confidence in our legal system.

Our governing legislation is the Legal Profession Uniform Law Application Act 2014 (Vic). Although we were established us as two independent statutory authorities (the Victorian Legal Services Board and the Victorian Legal Services Commissioner), we operate as one body under a unified name: the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner (VLSB+C). Each year, we present a combined annual report of operations and financial statements.
