- Summary:
-
This review was commissioned by the Attorney-General to examine the practices, procedures and laws that apply in the federal family law courts in the context of family violence, and whether improvements could be made to ensure that the best possible support is provided to families who have experienced or are at risk of violence. This report presents the author's recommendations from the review, and discusses the review's findings on issues including facilitating and acting upon the disclosure of violence, and the experience of the 2006 amendment legislation and the 2003 Hull Committee recommendations in practice. The recommendations focus on promoting an understanding of family law among judicial officers, promoting risk identification and assessment in all cases, resourcing, and the best interest of the child.
