Do the questions relate to the past situation and/or circumstances or the present?

The Family DOORS Triage risk screen questionnaire is designed to be answered from your perspective and the Court encourages you to answer the questions as best you can in relation to your current situation and circumstances.

Where the question does not specifically apply/relate to you, please consider it in the context of your situation. 

Where questions relate to the child/children, it is suggested that you answer the questions to the best of your knowledge or from when you last interacted with the child/children. We understand that this may have been some time ago. 

The answers provided will be assessed by the specialised Lighthouse Team and your matter will be referred to the most appropriate case management pathway.

It is important to note that the questionnaire is not used by the Court to determine findings or fact and is strictly confidential. Any information you provide within the questionnaire cannot be used in Court as evidence and is not provided to the Judicial Officer managing your matter, legal representatives or the other party/parties to your proceedings. The Family DOORS Triage questionnaire is used by the Court as an opportunity to identify any concerns you might hold for yourself and your family and to aid in identifying supports or case management pathways that will assist you in navigating the family law process.
