Information on how to make a judicial complaint to the Court

This Reconciliation Action Plan 2019–2021 reflects the FCC’s continuing commitment to supporting access to justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The FCC was the first court in Australia to enter into a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), and I am immensely proud to be the Chief Judge of this court. The Court’s path to reconciliation continues through the renewal of the RAP and through the dedication of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Access to Justice/RAP Committee.

If you are having trouble serving your divorce application on your spouse, this fact sheet may help you. It explains the two options you have when you cannot serve your divorce application on your spouse – seeking an order to serve the other party in a way other than personal service or seeking to ‘dispense with service’. A Court order is required for both options.

This fact sheet is for spouses (applying for a divorce) who lived in the same home during part or all of the required 12 month separation period. It explains what you need to do and the documents you need to file with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (the Court).

The Federal Circuit and Family Court places a priority on safety and can assist with the safety of you and your family when attending court. If you have any concerns for your safety, it is important you let the Court know at least five days before your court event.

This form is to be used in a Priority Property Pool Case (PPP) once the Court makes a declaration or notation that the case is designated as a PPP case.

This guide sets out the arrangements for the case management of family law financial cases known as ‘Priority Property Pool Cases’ (PPP Cases).
