Do you have to go to court to give evidence? NAAFLS can support clients who need to give evidence in court regarding domestic, family and sexual violence.
We have legal responsibility in Australia that everyone, no matter how remotely they live should have access to the court system.
Travel is a major barrier to accessing courts for many people who live remotely in the NT and our lawyers work with the bush courts system to overcome this barrier.
Bush courts work on a circuit which takes legal teams to remote communities throughout the NT. It’s common for our teams to work within makeshift court rooms when working outside of the bigger towns and centres.
