Judicial Registrars play a key role in achieving the Courts’ reforms and in supporting key projects and initiatives.

The Judicial Registrar position is multi-faceted and includes:

- performing delegated judicial functions at a high level, including presiding in Court, conducting dispute resolution, duty lists, and case management;
- case management and triaging of matters at various stages of the litigation pathway;
- assisting with the formulation of legal policy within the Courts, including in support of various Court Committees, and with the implementation of policies on a national basis;
- playing an important role locally and nationally in implementing the Courts’ reform agenda,
- together with delivering Government initiatives related to the family law courts; and
- liaising with internal and external stakeholders in areas of Registrar practice.

There may also be an opportunity for successful applicants to fulfil the responsibilities of various coordinating and leadership roles, including working as part of a national team to implement the structural changes associated with the FCFCOA Act.

**Key responsibilities and duties of the position**:

- Performing delegated judicial functions_
Judicial Registrars will perform statutory duties, powers and functions of a Judicial Registrar in the FCFCOA pursuant to sections 98 and 254 of the FCFCOA Act, and other legislative instruments, as required.

- conducting conciliation conferences and other forms of dispute resolution in both property and parenting matters, including complex cases;
- conducting case management of the workload of the Courts, including case management of various proceedings;
- carrying out delegated judicial functions in family law matters by way of presiding in Court in duty lists and other Court based events;
- for certain regions, undertaking circuits for regional areas (in relation to FCFCOA (Division 2) matters).
- Delivering court reform and key initiatives_
Judicial Registrars will play a central role in helping to deliver court reform and key initiatives. They will need to show leadership both locally and nationally in the performance of their legal and other duties and functions, and assisting to drive forward the Courts’ reform agenda. There will be opportunities for Judicial Registrars to perform duties at a national level in support of the Courts’ operational needs in support of the Chief Justice and the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Registrar (CEO/PR).

Judicial Registrars may also undertake additional national roles and responsibilities, including participating in case management initiatives within the Court, assisting with the development of coherent and consistent practice and procedure, analyses of workload, and liaison with, and education of, the profession.
- Internal and external liaison_

- The Chief Justice, Judges of both Courts, the CEO/PR, Deputy Principal Registrar, Executive Director - Registrar Family Law Practice and Dispute Resolution, Executive Director - National Registrar Operations, Senior Judicial Registrars and Court staff;
- Relevant Courts, Tribunals and other government agencies;
- The profession generally, including any relevant User Groups of the Court; and
- State and National Law Societies and Bar Associations and other key stakeholders.

Judicial Registrars will play a key local role in liaison with the legal profession. A key component of this liaison is to actively seek feedback from local stakeholders in relation to areas of Registrar practice.
