The Private Practitioner Short Service Scheme (PPSSS) is coordinated by our Victoria Legal Aid (VLA) offices.
PPSSS approved practitioners are contracted to do this work and need to invoice VLA for work completed.
All invoices are to be submitted within 30 days of the date of appearance. Details must be filled in on the correct claim form accessible from our VLA website. Please follow the menu to the appropriate scheme for the relevant claim form.
VLA office locations and contact numbers can be found on the Our offices page.
