Recent measures to support cost-effective property and financial settlements for separating families in Australia
The vast majority of married and de facto couples separating in Australia have modestly valued asset pools with simple asset profiles. This article discusses two complementary programmes initially funded by the Australian Government under the Women’s Economic Security Package (WESP). These programmes are the Lawyer-assisted Family Law Property Mediation (LAM) programme available at legal aid commissions in each Australian state and territory, and…
Elder abuse prevalence among older people living in the community in Australia
The National Elder Abuse Prevalence Study, conducted by the Australian Institute of Family Studies, was the first major national study to gauge the prevalence and nature of elder abuse in Australia. [The phrase, “conducted by the Australian Institute of Family Studies”, was added to the preceding sentence on 19 October 2023, after first online publication.] A survey of older people aged 65 years and older living in private dwellings was carried o…
More present than absent
An earlier article referred to the “absent presence” of the perpetrator in the lives of children and their mothers who have lived with domestic violence. It identified the ways in which the shadow of the perpetrator continued and was evidenced in the “symptoms of abuse” that both women and children experienced in spite of his absence. The current article argues that fathers who use violence are actually more present than absent in the lives of ch…

Evaluation of a Pilot of Legally Assisted and Supported Family Dispute Resolution in Family Violence Cases
Evidence of the prevalence of a history of past and/or current family violence among separated parents, and the presence of ongoing safety concerns for themselves and their children as a result of ongoing contact with the other parent, has created an impetus for the family law system to find more effective ways of dealing with families affected by family violence. In July 2009, the Federal Government announced funding for a pilot program to provi…
The Family Relationship Centre Legal Assistance Services Partnerships Program
The Family Relationship Centre Legal Assistance Services Partnerships Program
In June 2009, the Commonwealth Attorney General announced a Family Relationship Centres/ Legal Assistance Partnerships Program, (the ‘Better Partnerships’ program) the aim of which was to assist separated or separating families, ‘by providing access to early and targeted legal information and advice when attending Family Relationship Centres’ (McClelland, 2009). The present paper contextualizes this significant shift in policy and practice. It th…
Legislative aspirations and social realities
The Australian government has recently introduced a Bill into Parliament that is intended to improve the way concerns about family violence and child abuse are dealt with in the context of post-separation parenting disputes. The move follows recent reports examining the impact of significant reforms to the family law system introduced in 2006. Motivated by a desire to ensure that children maintain involvement with both parents after separation an…
Mandatory dispute resolution and the 2006 family law reforms
Community-based mandatory family dispute resolution (more generically known as family mediation) is a central plank of the 2006 changes to the Australian family law system. This paper provides an overview of the data on family dispute resolution from the Australian Institute of Family Studies’ evaluation of the 2006 changes. It reports on usage rates of family dispute resolution as well as immediate and medium term outcomes, perceived pathways to…
Family violence in children’s cases under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth)
The issue of family violence poses one of the most significant challenges in making post-separation parenting arrangements. Australian Institute of Family Studies research on allegations of family violence in family law children’s proceedings (Moloney et al 2007) has confirmed that under the previous family law framework, the issue of family violence was not dealt with effectively. This article examines the legal context for the report’s findings…
