The Victorian Bar is a private, voluntary, self-funded, non-profit professional association of barristers who practise in Victoria. Barristers connected to the Victorian Bar’s LinkedIn company profile are independent  self-employed members of the Victorian Bar.

The work of the barrister is built on the proud tradition of providing strong and independent legal representation and advice without fear or favour to all in the community.

Since 1891, Victoria has had a fused or amalgamated legal profession. That is, there has been a single admission to practice as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Victoria. The terminology changed with the Legal Profession Act 2004 (Vic) to admission as an “Australian lawyer” and licensing to practise as an “Australian legal practitioner” and “local legal practitioner”. "Barrister” is defined in the Legal Profession Act 2004 (Vic) as “an Australian legal practitioner who engages in legal practice solely as a barrister”.
