I couldn't find a complete list anywhere online of what the maximum penalties for certain crimes were, so I decided to write one up myself and post it here. Each entry has the number and name of the section of the crimes act concerned (though I have paraphrased a few and added the odd description). Also be careful not just to rely on this list. Its not an academic journal or anything, its a blog. Google the actual Crimes Act to look up specific crimes in case I've made any mistakes - http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/consol_act/ca195882/
Note also, that even this isn't an exhaustive list of absolutely everything you can go to jail for. There are numerous other acts concerning other areas of the law. Drink driving for instance is covered under the Road Safety Act, while drug crimes (some of which can merit you lengthy sentences, even life imprisonment) are covered by the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act, etc.
