Supplementary Submission: Inquiry into Family Violence Orders
Submission Date: 13 September 2024
The Law Council of Australia appreciates the opportunity to have appeared before the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs on 30 August 2024 in relation to its inquiry into family violence orders.
During the Law Council’s appearance, the Law Council was asked by the Hon Shayne Neumann MP whether there is a structured process in place to facilitate pro bono legal assistance for family law matters, and, if not, whether the Law Council should establish such scheme.1 Despite providing some preliminary comments in response, the witnesses representing the Law Council undertook to respond further Mr Neumann’s question on notice.2
