In 2019, the independent panel examining the 2014 reforms to the family justice system reported that the family justice system is not performing as it should. In particular, the panel found that delay is widespread in the Family Court. This delay impacts on most other areas of the family justice system. The Family Court deals with a diverse set of issues, including the care and protection of children, family violence, divorce, and relationship property. The effective delays in the Family Court can, therefore, be widespread.
