Lighthouse is part of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (the Courts) response to ensure that family safety risks are identified at the earliest point in proceedings and that case management decisions are risk-informed.
Lighthouse involves:
- early risk screening through a secure online platform
- early identification and management of family safety risks
- assessment and triage of cases by a specialised team who will provide support and refer the party to appropriate services
- safe, and suitable case management, including referring high risk cases to a dedicated court list, known as the Evatt List.
