Rights & Protections

Human Rights in Australian Family Law

Your fundamental rights under international law, Australian legislation, and within family law proceedings. Understanding your rights is the first step to protecting them.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 — key articles relevant to family law

While the UDHR is not directly enforceable in Australian courts, it is the foundational document for all human rights law. Australian courts regularly refer to the UDHR when interpreting legislation, and many of its principles are embedded in the Family Law Act 1975 and other Australian statutes.
