The draft Family Law Amendment Bill 2023 (Cth) proposes some significant changes to the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), particularly around parenting and considerations for determining the child’s best interests. This expert panel will examine the proposed changes for both practitioners and clients, including from historical, legal, and practical perspectives. The panel will discuss the impact of the expected changes on the way family lawyers conduct matters, including advice around potential outcomes, and consider the areas of conjecture when it comes to interpreting and applying the legislative amendments.

This session was recorded during the Specialist Accreditation Conference 2023.
