[4] Officer station opened on 4 August 1881, almost four years after the railway line was extended from Dandenong to Pakenham.

[6] Another theory is that the station and suburb were named after the Officer family, who were originally from Deniliquin, New South Wales.

[9][10] On 8 May 1987, a collision involving a Flinders Street-bound Comeng train set and V/Line locomotive N457, operating an up Traralgon service, occurred in the down direction of the station.

[15][16] During the 2011/2012 financial year, it was the second least used station on Melbourne's metropolitan system, with 55,000 passenger movements.

[18][19] On 18 May 2024, Station Street level crossing and equipment was removed and the road was permanently closed.
