The Family Court of Australia is led by Chief Justice Diana Bryant, who oversees the judicial and administrative functions of the Court.
The Court has 19 family law registries in all states and territories except Western Australia, which has its own family court. The registries are designed and staffed to support families to resolve their family law disputes and, if that is not possible, to provide judicial determination on the disputes.
The registries also support the family law jurisdiction of the Federal Magistrates Court.
