The Indigenous Family Liaison Officers will provide in-Court support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people faced with family breakdown and/or who are accessing various services provided by the Court. The role will specifically support judges who either run Specialist Indigenous Lists or hear a high proportion of matters involving Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander litigants. Indigenous Family Liaison Officers will need to take a positive and collaborative approach to enhance cultural development within the pre-existing Court structure and case management pathway. The position may include opportunities to support the Court, acting as a collaborative and supportive point for conveying cultural change as required.
These roles will be focussed on supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to understand the role of the Courts in family law matters, as well as ensuring that litigants attend Court events and provide support when interacting with the Courts’ processes. The Indigenous Family Liaison Officers can link Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with key legal and community-based services.
