The Victorian Government Solicitor's Office (VGSO) provides strategic advice and practical legal solutions to the Victorian Government and its statutory authorities. The VGSO is often involved in news-breaking matters relevant to every Victorian, including the Bushfires Royal Commission, constitutional challenges, freedom of information, native title and the Charter of Human Rights.
