This Information Notice applies to all proceedings filed in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1) and (Division 2) (Courts) in the Courts’ family law, migration and general federal law jurisdictions.
This form is used by a party in a migration or general federal law proceeding to ask the Court to issue a subpoena. A subpoena is a legal document issued by the Court.
This form is used by the named person subpoenaed to produce documents, to object to producing the documents. Or a person receiving a copy of a subpoena to produce documents, to object to the documents subpoenaed being inspected or copied.
An affidavit is a written statement where the contents are sworn or affirmed to be true. An affidavit should set out facts, not opinion.
Appeals
An appeal is not a re-hearing of the original dispute. Rather, it is an examination of whether the law was applied correctly in your case.
Costs
Generally, the unsuccessful party has to pay the legal costs of the successful party. These are referred to as party-party costs. If the Court dismisses your application, or you discontinue your application, you will have to pay the Minister’s legal costs.
Non-party access to documents
If you are a non-party, a request can be made to access court documents
This form is to be used when a non-party is requesting access to General Federal Law and/or Migration Court documents pursuant to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2) (General Federal Law) Rules 2025.
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.
