Joined up Justice
We are working together with our justice sector partner agencies, such as NSW Police, to develop direct data exchanges that streamline processes and improve the timeliness of communications and information exchange.
Online services
Online court lists and electronic filing (efiling) services are making it easier for court users to find court information and for legal representatives to interact with our offices. Further projects will expand the availability of online services to all court users.
Courts Service Centre
Our aim is to make contacting courts easier. A dedicated Courts Service Centre has been opened to provide a single access point for people seeking telephone information about jury services and court information.
The Court Service Centre currently deals with enquiries for particular courts. Its coverage is being expanded, making contact between the public and courts faster and easier.
