There have been significant changes, not so much to the Act itself, but rather to the family law system which has evolved since the Act commenced operation in January 1976. This article provides a progress report on the current batch of reforms and an outline of some recent developments in domestic violence legislation in the states of Tasmania, Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
