Are you and your former partner amicable?
You might want to consider using amica where you can negotiate freely the arrangements in relation to your children and/or money and property without the need of a lawyer.
Important Notice – From 31 October 2025
When filing an Application for Consent Orders on the Commonwealth Courts Portal, the following documents will be required:
Proposed minutes of consent signed by all parties (on each page) in PDF format
Proposed minutes of consent in an unsigned Word (.docx) format
The Application for Consent Orders form, along with any other required documents, depending on the orders sought
This change is being implemented to improve the visual quality of published orders and reduce processing time, giving parties quicker access to published orders. You will not be able to submit an Application for Consent Orders without providing both:
a signed PDF version, and
an identical unsigned Word version of the Proposed Orders.
You will also be required to confirm on the court portal (via checkbox) that the text in both documents is identical.
Need a Word version of your amica orders?
Email amica@lsc.sa.gov.au to request a Word version of your proposed orders.
This does not apply if you are filing in Western Australia
