Family Law
ABOUT FAMILY LAW
Australia's family law system helps people resolve the legal aspects of family relationship issues – including relationship breakdown, property and parenting arrangements.
The Family Law subjects in the Postgraduate Applied Law Programs deal with the legal aspects of working with families.
The Graduate Diploma of Family Dispute Resolution Practice (FDRP) equips those looking to become Accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners with the tools to help resolve disputes caused by separation or divorce.
Choose from:
- Master of Applied Law (Family Law)
- LLM (Applied Law) with a major in family law
- Graduate Diploma of Applied Law (Family Law)
- Graduate Diploma of Family Dispute Resolution Practice
It completely changes the way you practise. It takes you to another level. You can really tell lawyers that have actually done the course because they practise at a completely different level.
