RedCrest is the Supreme Court of Victoria’s secure 24/7 eFiling system.
Wait times have increased for registry services such as:
- subpoenaed document inspections
- default judgments and warrants
- and authenticated orders.
Court users are asked to refrain from follow up enquiries so that staff can concentrate on fulfilling the original request.
RedCrest e-Filing Hub
To file documents at the Supreme Court you will need to use RedCrest, the Court's eFiling platform.
In the RedCrest Hub, you can access user guides to learn how to register for a RedCrest account, initiate cases, and file new documents.
The RedCrest filing system is used for matters across the Court of Appeal, Common Law Division, Criminal Division, Costs Court and all Commercial Court matters.
The Court has a separate RedCrest eFiling system for Probate matters (RedCrest-Probate) and for lodging litigation and court file search requests (RedCrest-Search).

CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS
Parties seeking to file confidential (or otherwise sensitive) material should email the relevant registry before filing documents. The email should include, along with any other matters the party considers relevant:
- the basis for claiming confidentiality;
- whether confidentiality is claimed over the whole documents or only part (and identify the part);
- whether you seek that the document not be made available to:
- the other party(s) to the proceeding; or
- non-parties only - see the Searching Court Records page for more information about the documents available to non-parties in different proceedings.
Please note: in many instances, a court order is required for documents to be treated as confidential.
REPRESENTING YOURSELF
Representing yourself in court means you take responsibility for the tasks that a lawyer would otherwise do.
If you are representing yourself, you are known as a self-represented litigant (SRL). If you are considering representing yourself in the Supreme Court, please access information about representing yourself in the Supreme Court of Victoria by heading to Representing Yourself.
