The iconic octagonal building was last operational in 2019 and underwent a period refurbishment.
This iconic octagonal building heard its last case in 2019, and was refurbished thereafter in preparation for the FJC to take over.
On Oct 21, the FJC, which comprises the Family Division of the High Court, the Family Courts and the Youth Courts, celebrated its 10th anniversary at its new premises. Said the spokesperson: “These features will enable FJC to better support therapeutic justice and provide more accessible services to our court users; in line with the whole-of-judiciary direction to improve access to justice for all.”
He said it must also be restorative, in that the law should heal the parties’ relationship and repair it at least to a minimally functioning state. About 66 per cent of the cases were filed on a simplified track, in which both parties agree on all issues related to the divorce and ancillary matters, such as child custody and maintenance.
The spokesperson said the conference offers a space for the parties to understand and reflect how their choices and decisions may affect their future, adding: “It is to encourage each party to move away from a cycle of blame and hurt to one of recovery and hope, to focus on finding the best outcome for their family.”
