Admission to practise law in Victoria

Monash Law students and alumni wishing to apply for Admission to Practise in Victoria are required by the Victorian Legal Admissions Board to provide an Academic Conduct Report from the University for any course in which they have been enrolled.

Please review VLAB's Guide for Applicants for Admission before submitting this request to Monash University.

How to request a Student Conduct Report from the Faculty of Law?

Submit the Academic Conduct report request form.

Prior to submitting the form, please check that you:

• have completed, where results have been finalised and published, law studies at the Monash Law School either in a single degree, double degree or single units,
• have applied to Victorian Legal Admissions Board (VLAB) for admission to practise law in Victoria,
• are within 6 months of the proposed admission date provided by VLAB, and
• are not encumbered by Monash University or have any pending enrolment in your Law degree.

Processing times: Faculty of Law processes these requests in fortnightly batches on Tuesday. Please note that the Academic Conduct Report will be made available to the applicant 5 University working days before it is sent to VLAB so that the applicant is made aware of what is being disclosed.

How to purchase and share a Digital Academic Transcript with VLAB via My eQuals?

Please visit the Academic Transcripts webpage for instructions on ordering a digital transcript and linking your My eQuals account to Monash University. Once purchased, applicants can share their digital document by generating a link on the My eQuals portal and sharing it with vlabdocuments@justice.vic.gov.au. Processing times: Upto 3 business days.

Privacy & Report Disclosure

The student is entitled, and indeed required, to be familiar with the content of the Report before he or she includes it in the application. Monash University should provide the Report to the applicant 5 working days before it is sent to the Board so that the applicant is made aware of what is being disclosed to the Board. Consistent with the University's general obligations under the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic) and to mitigate the risk of an aggrieved applicant making a privacy complaint about the disclosure, where a Report contains information adverse to the applicant, the University should give the applicant an opportunity to raise any concerns about the Report before the information is disclosed the Board.

Late applications or out-of-cycle requests

We understand that this is a significant milestone for students. However, we must stress the importance of our fortnightly timeline to both students and law firms as it is still always the individual applicant’s responsibility to request their Academic Conduct report in sufficient time.

Unfortunately, we are unable to expedite any requests outside of our fortnightly cycle due our wider processing times.
