Bailiff services

Bailiff service (civil)

Our service is initiated via the Magistrates Courts of Western Australia, which means we can only become involved in the process once all documentation is received from the issuing Magistrates Courts. Please bear in mind that Bailiff and or Assistant Bailiff’s cannot legally provide advice on any under instructions provided by the Magistrates Courts, Claimants and Judgment Creditors. We strongly suggest that if you are unsure of the type of service or enforcement required that professional legal assistance be sought. All Bailiff activity is carried out under legislative processes and the fees due and payable fall under the Civil Judgments Enforcement Regulations 2005, Schedule 2, Sheriff’s Fees. For more information about Bailiff service and execution, along with information about the Magistrates Courts please click here.

If you want Bailiff services outside of the Southern Zone of Western Australia, contact the Western Australia Sheriff's office on (08) 9425 2481. 

Fines enforcement registry

We are responsible for the collection activity on outstanding Fines on behalf of the Fines Enforcement Registry of Western Australia. This means at times our Sheriff’s Officers may need to issue a field call to an address.
