Evidence (Giving Evidence of Family Violence) Amendment Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill amends the Evidence Act 2006 to extend the range of possible protections for parties and witnesses giving evidence of sexual assaults or family harm in the Family Court to mirror those available to similarly vulnerable complainants and witnesses in criminal proceedings.MP in charge
