If you are a party in a general federal law matter you or your lawyer can view the court file from the Commonwealth Courts Portal.
If you are not a party to the matter or are a media representative (non-party), subject to any order or direction of the Court and certain exceptions, you may request to inspect ‘unrestricted’ general federal law and/or migration court documents.
It is important you read the information about making a Non-party request to inspect a general federal law or migration file before filing a request. Fees are payable for the request and photocopying.
