Senior judicial registrars, judicial registrars and deputy registrars each undertake key roles in the operation of the family law jurisdiction of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (the Court).
The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (the Court) commenced on 1 September 2021. Below is a brief summary of the new rules of Court that govern practice and procedure in the new Court.
The Court’s new case management pathway, and particularly the events which are conducted by judicial registrars in court lists and in dispute resolution, is designed to focus parties on potential areas of agreement, and move towards a final resolution of all issues as safely as possible, and without the impact, stress and expense of protracted family law litigation.
The Courts acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders, past, present and emerging.
