In-Person Admissions 

You should lodge your application at least 3 months before your planned admission month. Complex applications may take longer.

Each ceremony is capped at a maximum of 50 applicants. Admission times are 9.30am, 11.30am and 2.30pm. Dates and times are subject to change at the discretion of the Supreme Court of Victoria. 

If you have chosen an in-person ceremony you will be automatically assigned to the earliest available ceremony upon a fully completed and paid application.

You will receive a link to pay the admission fee when all documents on your application are received, assessed, and approved by VLAB.  Please factor in at least one week for review of documents after they have been uploaded.
