No, parties cannot self-refer or be referred to Lighthouse by practitioners, external support agencies or by any other means. Please also note that legal representatives cannot seek Orders for a matter to be placed on the Evatt List.
Lighthouse focuses on the early identification and management of family safety risks through risk screening at the point of commencing a matter with the Courts.
After filing an eligible Initiating Application or corresponding Response, all parties (including non-parent parties of the child/ren) are contacted directly by the dedicated Lighthouse Team and invited to participate in the risk screen.
