Transcript

There is no single Sydney address that safely answers every Federal Circuit and Family Court attendance question. Different work can involve different buildings. The original Go To Court footage is archival, and the address in an older video must not override your current court notice.

The current Sydney information lists the Lionel Bowen Building on Goulburn Street. It also identifies courtrooms at the Terrace Tower Group Building, eighty William Street. Which building matters depends on your case and the court's direction.

For general federal law, registry services are provided from Level Seventeen of the Law Courts Building at Queens Square, while hearings may be at Goulburn Street or William Street. A filing counter and a courtroom are not automatically the same destination.

Read every page of your notice. Confirm the building name, street address, level, date, time and whether attendance is in person or online. Recheck the official location page shortly before the hearing and contact the court if anything is unclear.

Location mistakes are avoidable; legal preparation requires separate advice about your matter. Go To Court can provide general information and arrange a consultation with a suitable lawyer, subject to availability. Current contact details and a source-linked guide are on screen.
