Supplementary funding for Legal Aid Commissions to respond to demand arising from case management transition in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia

This Schedule will support the delivery of timely and effective family law representation services by legal aid commissions in response to increased demand in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia arising from the new case management approach.

The one-off funding will ensure legal aid commissions have the capacity to support the implementation of, and transition to, the new case management approach in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

It will support access to representation services in family law matters during this transition period, so that Australian families experiencing disadvantage are able to have their issues resolved safely and without further delay.
