Family Court staff are too underpaid, lack training and overworked to provide an ethical service that protects women and children from family violence. What is expected and what is provided are two very different things.
In a submission on the family court merger, it was stated ,
"However, due to funding and
resource constraints many Registries have had to drastically reduce the
services they can offer. Increased funding for Family Consultants and for
qualified, experienced counsellors and psychologists with training in issues of
family law, family violence and child abuse is needed to provide quality
service to clients of the family law courts and promote early resolution of
matters."
Performance measuring is grossly over represented in their contracts compared to benefits provided for employees.
Managers appear to be more interested in keeping their employees on a very tight leash than providing rewards for their work in a system that is chaotic and stressful.
For staff who have not yet joined the community and public sector union, we highly recommend that you do so. The judicial section can be located here .
