Choosing an Australian document and forum

Australian document preparation is organised around the forum before the wording. A civil claim, workplace complaint, tenancy notice, contractual demand or review document can move through a Commonwealth body, a state or territory court, a specialist tribunal or a non-court complaint process, depending on the subject and jurisdiction.

Useful instructions identify the state or territory, any Commonwealth component, the exact recipient, the event or decision being challenged, the deadline, the relief sought and the documents that prove the chronology. If the responsible body publishes a mandatory form or portal process, the current official process should be checked before a free-form draft is used.
