About Victorian Public Notices
The Victorian Public Notices website was created to make it easier for people to find and share public notices which are relevant to them and their community. The website also makes it faster and easier for the Victorian Government to publish public notices.
Businesses are not able to publish public notices on the Victorian Public Notices website. You can still find business notices in print newspapers and other forms of local advertising.
