Sunshine Magistrates' Court

Besides sitting there all day, the place is being renovated so I entered in the children's court doors around the side but easy to find, just park across the road.

I wonder, who would give a 5 star attending a court?Still, its not that bad except forever waiting..

Absolutely disgusting place. All staff were rude, bordering aggressive. No assistance for the disabled and family violence victims. Magistrate spoke to people like they've didn't understand English. I'm appalled with the court system, very big eye opener. Shame.

Renovations is happening now outside and inside court house. It's always packed and yes if you for some reason have court you will have to wait a while. Unfortunately for whatever reason they are always busy. Maybe try not getting too much mischieve and let the judges breath abit easier.

I was made to wait over three months to get a restraining order in place against my abuser then the courts just never sent my a link on the day. I have to now chase up yet another hearing, they treat young women like we don't matter.

I had G4S discriminate me badly for my disability, as they deny service animals.Contact the magistrates before entering with your service animal/aid before G4S abuse their rights and deny you.

Good court, let me pay a fine.

Pray that you never have to come here. I would highly suggest calling in weekly before your date to ensure that things haven’t been changed last minute, as they will not contact you to make you aware. They will belittle you for not knowing this information when you try and do the right thing by showing up to the date they initially set out.Pretty great example of the way the western suburbs of Melbourne function, or rather don’t function. A crumbling bureaucracy that only protects the people in power, while making it extremely financially and time costly for everyone else.Decent parking, but seriously, follow the law, pay your bills, don’t come here.

Parking is not an issue as it is located next to the Sunshine shopping centre. Just a very short walk from there. Friendly staff.

Terrible feeling having to go to court. Not only are you intimidated by the mere fact you are having to face a magistrate, you also have the staff who belittle you and are very rude. I was told by a judge to book my next court date and ensure it was to be heard by the same judge. When requesting that the matter be heard before the same judge I was told by one very rude staff member, 'We don't judge shop here'. Wow!! I was humiliated. Legal Aid were terrible and unprofessional. They do not want to listen to what you have to say. I was advised to go for a 'diversion'. I refused. A diversion is stating you are guilty. I Finally, after four years with numerous attendances at this court, the charges were finally dropped. I get very depressed to this day thinking about it.
