The Family Law Practitioners' Association of Western Australia (FLPAWA) is a dedicated professional body supporting solicitors, barristers, and officers of the Family Court practicing family law throughout Western Australia. Established to serve those working in this vital area of law, FLPAWA plays a key role in fostering professional development and delivering up-to-date information to its members. Membership benefits include access to a robust continuing professional development (CPD) programme specifically tailored to family law, ensuring practitioners remain abreast of legislative changes and evolving legal principles. Members also have the opportunity to participate in a range of social events, promoting collegiality and professional networking within the family law community. FLPAWA acts as a representative voice for its members, engaging with legislative bodies and contributing to reforms affecting family law practice. Regular communications, bulletins, and employment notices keep members informed of relevant developments and opportunities. For individuals seeking legal advice following a separation, the association offers a “Find a Lawyer” service, connecting the public with lawyers experienced in family law matters across Western Australia. FLPAWA continually strives to enhance the support and resources available to its members, welcoming feedback on additional services that may benefit practitioners in this important field.
