Western Australia

Getting legal help in Western Australia

Western Australia is served by Western Australia's court system, and which court hears a matter depends on how serious it is. Most people never see the inside of one — the majority of legal work is advice, documents and negotiation — but it is worth knowing where a matter would go if it escalated.

Western Australia is the only state with its own dedicated Family Court — the Family Court of Western Australia — rather than sending family matters to the federal court. If your matter is in WA, look for a firm that practises there specifically.

Distance matters more here than anywhere else. Many Perth firms act for clients across the whole state and are set up to run a matter without you ever attending the office.
