ABOUT

The Family Law Pathways Network is an initiative of the Australian Government Attorney-General’s Department. There are over 30 Family Law Pathways Networks across Australia establishing coordinated networks of professionals working in the family law system.

​

The Family Law Pathways Network mandate is to:

​

• Provide networking and collaborative opportunities for practitioners working in the family law and support services sector, and

• Foster appropriate referral pathways for separating families caught in the system.

​

Separating families face a range of problems. They often need legal and non-legal advice or support. By encouraging professionals to work together, learn and share information, we aim to:

​

• Dispel professional myths and break down barriers to collaboration.

• Improve coordination between organisations operating in the family law system.

• Cultivate a shared understanding of professional roles within the sector.
