So what does this new role do? The new role will take on some of the Family Court judges' workload, and that will enable judges to progress more substantive matters far more quickly than we've seen before. They'll also take on the work in the early stages of proceedings, and administrative work, and that will be things like appointing a lawyer for child, or a lawyer to assist in the court in various interlocutory matters, and keep those things moving in the early stages. They will also have the power to deal with a range of areas, including directing parties to undertake dispute resolution, non-violence services, presiding over pre-hearing conferences, convening settlement conferences, and also making orders by consent under specified legislation. However, it is important to note that this role is distinct from a Family Court judge and that there are some very important matters that will always remain in the hands of a judge due to their impact on people and also due to the complexity of those issues. Those types of matters include the final decisions around guardianship and also those that materially affect children.
