Develop an information sharing protocol between Department of Health and Human Services and the Magistrates' Court

Recommendation 028

Implemented

Who is leading the change

Department of Health and Human Services

Pending finalisation of the recommended information-sharing regime, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) liaise with the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria to develop an information-sharing protocol to ensure that, when a parent seeks a new or amended family violence intervention order or Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) order in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria, information held by the department in relation to family violence risk is provided to the court. Where necessary, a child protection practitioner should be made available to give evidence.
