Where are family law matters heard for Bunbury?
Bunbury is one of the Family Court of Western Australia's country circuit locations, with judge sittings and magistrate or registrar sittings on set Mondays across 2026 and 2027. The Court's registry is in Perth at 150 Terrace Road, and its Listings Coordinator can confirm circuit dates on 1800 199 228. Family violence restraining orders are made separately by the Magistrates Court.
What WA-specific rules apply?
Western Australia is the only state with its own family court. The Family Court of Western Australia applies the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) to married couples and the Family Court Act 1997 (WA) to de facto couples, because WA did not refer de facto property powers to the Commonwealth. Family violence restraining orders are made in the Magistrates Court under the Restraining Orders Act 1997 (WA).
How much does a family lawyer cost in Bunbury?
Fees for family lawyers in Bunbury depend on the matter, the lawyer's seniority and the fee model (hourly, fixed fee or conditional). Before any work starts, a law firm must disclose its costs in writing when they are likely to exceed the disclosure threshold. See How Much Does a Lawyer Cost in Australia? for typical ranges and fee models.
