Since the 1 September 2021 the new Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia commenced operation.
Parties are encouraged to engage in dispute resolution if safe to do so and for the first time in 21 years there is now a single set of family law rules known as Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Family Law) Rules 2021.
There is now a requirement for parties to comply with Pre-action procedures prior to going to court.
