Webinar: First Nations Women’s Experiences of the Family Law System

This webinar presents the findings of a national partnership study between Women’s Legal Services Australia and the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, examining First Nations women’s experiences of the family law system, particularly in the context of family violence.

This study was guided by a First Nations Reference Group who provided advice and guidance on all elements of the project. This webinar will highlight findings from the final report, which draws on insights from practitioners within Women’s Legal Services and anonymised case studies.

You will learn about the factors that shape First Nations women’s interactions with the family law system, the barriers they face when engaging, and the impacts of existing system responses such as the Indigenous List and Indigenous Family Liaison Officers on access and safety for First Nations women. The discussion will focus on the Queensland context. You can access the final report for this project here.

CEVAW affiliate Sam O’Donnell will be presenting exciting CEVAW research during this webinar.
