NSW Online Court Overview

From days to minutes, the expansive suite of online services saves time and money, otherwise spent on travelling and waiting in registries or courtrooms, making the NSW Department of Justice the cost and service leader of court services across Australia.

A case can be started, defended and listed in the NSW Online Registry; and now managed in the Online Court. Pioneered by NSW, Online Court requires minimal manual effort by staff, and provides a streamlined, accessible solution for legal practitioners, who no longer need to visit a registry office, or set foot in a court room before a hearing; a win-win situation for the community and legal profession, particularly those isolated by distance in rural and interstate areas.
