Family DOORS Triage is a risk screening tool developed for use in the Courts, based on the DOORS framework established by Professor Jennifer McIntosh and Dr Claire Ralfs in 2012.
The screening tool asks a series of questions to identify multiple risk factors in a short amount of time. All of the questions seek a yes or no answer and do not require any specific detail or examples. The questionnaire takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
The answers are confidential and inadmissible in Court. They cannot be used as evidence in support of your case or against you by the other party. Judges, Senior Judicial Registrars, Judicial Registrars or any other judicial officer, and legal representatives will not have access to answers submitted by any party.
Sections 10Q-10W of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) protect the confidentiality and inadmissibility of the screen.
