Auscript, a VIQ Solutions Company, has a longstanding relationship with the Commonwealth Courts of Australia, including the recently formed Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia
The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia was established by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia Act 2021, bringing together the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. These reforms received Royal Assent on 1 March 2021 and commenced on 1 September 2021.
The Court comprises two divisions. Division 1 (a continuation of the Family Court of Australia) deals with family law matters. Division 2 (a continuation of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia) deals with family law, migration and general federal law matters.
Auscript provides digital recording and transcript production services across all FCFCOA courtrooms in Australia, a seamless continuation of the services we provided to the Family Court of Australia and Federal Circuit Court of Australia.
