In today’s fast-paced legal environment, law firms need tools to help ensure efficiency and reduce manual workload. InfoTrack’s Family Court Portal enables legal professionals to electronically file court documents with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia directly from their practice management system, without leaving their matter.
This innovative integration transforms how family law professionals manage court documents, lodgments and updates, delivering faster turnaround times and greater accuracy.
Janine Hopp, Practice Manager at Carter Farquar Mediation and Family Law, relies on InfoTrack’s Family Court integration to manage matters involving Independent Children’s Lawyers (ICLs) more efficiently.
“Before the platform, we could wait a day or more for court file access after filing a Notice of Address,” Hopp explains. “Now, we gain access almost instantly. That gives us time to prepare for urgent appearances and avoid hours of manual document management.”
By automating access and document filing, the portal helps law firms serve clients faster and more effectively, especially in time-sensitive family law cases.
InfoTrack’s electronic filing platform for family law connects directly to your practice management software. Key information from your matter pre-fills into the court application, and your documents are ready for direct upload.
This smart integration removes the need for manual data entry, reduces errors and speeds up the court lodgment process.
“Traditionally a significant amount of time would be spent downloading parties’ material, time consumingly re-naming and dating documentation for it then to be saved to the file,” explains Hopp. “With Family Court, this is done seamlessly, including categorising into a separate folder in our practice management software by document type (Filed Documents/Orders) and date.”
One of the standout features of InfoTrack’s Family Court integration is the continuous, real-time updates you receive directly from the Court’s portal. No more constantly checking for court events, orders, uploaded documents, or party information. Our system provides regular updates straight into your matter, ensuring you are always in the loop.
InfoTrack’s Family Court Portal goes beyond simple eFiling. It reviews the information you input and offers smart tips and validations that help you lodge more accurately. By catching errors early, the system increases the likelihood of successful submissions and reduces the time spent on corrections.
Once you lodge documents, the platform automatically sends filing receipts, cost recoveries, and court-stamped documents back into your matter. Documents are categorised and stored by type and date, giving you complete visibility and compliance ready records, without the manual sorting.
The benefits of InfoTrack’s Family Court Portal go beyond speed. It also helps to enhance the quality of service your firm delivers.
“We now bill more efficiently and focus on higher-quality work,” says Hopp. “This platform helps us meet a higher standard of practice while delivering better outcomes for our client, Legal Aid Queensland.”
By integrating with the Commonwealth Courts Portal, InfoTrack empowers law firms to streamline family law filings, improve accuracy and free up time for what matters most, your clients.
