Hi,

Can you secretly record a conversation, then use it as evidence in a criminal case to prove fault?

Evidence that is lawfully obtained is admissible. In Victoria you are allowed to (secretly) record a conversation if you are a party to it.

So I can be having a conversation with a person and then more peolpe come into the conversation and the only person that knows it's being recorded is me. That ok to use in court or will it be not allowed?

No different. As long as you are a party to the (group) conversation.
