ACT: Dedicated court to deal with family violence matters

The ACT Government will create a dedicated court to deal with family violence matters.

The new court will formalise the Territory's existing family violence court list.

The establishment of a dedicated Family Violence Court will put into law the operation of this very effective service in the Magistrates Court and guarantee its ongoing provision to future victims of violence as well as the perpetrators

The police, the DPP, the community organisations are all working in a consistent and coordinated way to support both the victims of crime and deal with the perpetrator's offending behaviour.
