This publication attempts to outline a minimum standard of practice when conducting family assessments and preparing reports. The overarching aim of this publication is to provide information to the decision-makers, agencies and legal professionals involved in the cases, as to what constitutes good practice in family assessments and reporting. We are very pleased to see the release of the Australian Standards of Practice for Family Assessments and Reporting, a publication developed by the Family Court of Australia, the Federal Circuit Court of Australia and the Family Court of Western Australia.Įnsuring good practices in conducting and reporting in family assessments in family law matters is essential in helping to determine the ‘best interests of the child’. The conduct of family assessments and the subsequent development of family reports play a critical role in the decision-making process of judicial officers when dealing with family law disputes that are before the courts. The current issue does not reflect the recent structural changes to the Courts. The Australian Standards of Practice for Family Assessments and Reporting was developed in 2015, prior to the commencement of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
