The Hawke Building is marked H on the map.

 

The seminar will examine in depth the consequences for children of some of the recent changes to the Australian Family Law Act. Presenters will focus on the most current theories, research, practice wisdom and parental experiences in relation to the emphasis given to shared parenting and associated decision-making after separation and divorce. The main focus will be on the outcomes of the changes for Australian children, including those children who have been, or are at risk of being, exposed to high level parental conflict, violence and child abuse.
