The questionnaire has now closed. The Committee's work has also been informed by those with personal experience at the intersection of family violence and the family law system. The Committee thanks all respondents who completed the questionnaire and shared their personal stories. The Committee published some early findings from the questionnaire, and will continue to do so in coming weeks.
Given the sensitive nature of the inquiry, participants are asked to ensure that the names and identifying details of parties involved in family law matters, particularly children, are not disclosed when providing input to the inquiry.
