Court Services Victoria (CSV) provides corporate and administrative services that support judicial independence in the administration of justice in Victoria.

When CSV was formed, it inherited a legacy of asset management issues that included an ageing asset base which was not fit for purpose, limited asset information, a largely reactive maintenance strategy, no centralised location for asset information, multiple changes in leadership, and staff who operated predominately in silos.

Solutions to these issues included a fully integrated system-based approach to assist with breaking down barriers of a siloed organisation, utilisation of a hierarchy of Asset Management Systems, focusing on the whole of asset lifecycle and compliance with the Victorian Government’s Asset Management and Accountability Framework (AMAF).

These initiatives assisted CSV to move away from a backlog filled reactive maintenance strategy, where catastrophic failure of critical assets could potentially lead to the shutting down of a justice system, to a proactive 10-year program of works.
