Local requirements & useful context

The $230 starting offer covers metropolitan Melbourne and its suburbs, including the CBD, Richmond, St Kilda, Footscray, Sunshine, Werribee, Broadmeadows, Craigieburn, Epping, Box Hill, Ringwood, Glen Waverley, Dandenong, Cranbourne, Pakenham and Frankston. Send the suburb, postcode and any access instructions so our local server can plan the attendance. Rural and exceptional addresses are quoted separately.

The Magistrates' Court of Victoria distinguishes personal and ordinary service and provides Form 6A for the service record. The correct method depends on the document and recipient. Do not apply that court's guidance automatically to a Supreme Court, federal or family-law proceeding.

These notes provide context, not a determination of the permitted method for your proceeding.

What does the 48-hour offer mean?

A first service attempt within 48 hours in most standard service areas, with no rush fee for that timeframe. It does not guarantee successful service. We confirm the timing for the actual address and requirements before accepting the assignment.

What if the recipient has moved?

Send the previous address and any lawful identifying information. PCA can assess a separately priced skip trace before further attempts.
