How we handle correspondence

The Child Support Justice Foundation is an independent, non-partisan advocacy foundation. We are deliberately a lean organisation, with our attention directed at questions of child support law and the principled development of case law rather than at day-to-day enquiries. For that reason, we keep our contact arrangements simple, and we receive correspondence by post at the address above.

We welcome thoughtful written correspondence that bears on our work: observations on the development of child support law, perspectives on the kinds of questions we describe under our work, and considered input from people who share our interest in a fairer balance in how child support operates in Australia. Letters that raise matters of genuine principle are especially valuable to us, because they help inform our sense of which questions of child support law most deserve careful attention.

What we cannot do

It is important to be honest about our limits, so that no one writes to us expecting something we are not able to provide. The Foundation does not give legal advice, and we cannot advise on, assist with, or intervene in any individual child support assessment or dispute. We are an advocacy foundation working at the level of law and principle — not a law practice, a government agency or a service that handles personal matters. We are also not a registered charity, and we do not seek or accept donations.

If your need is for specialist guidance on your own child support situation, that is the role of dedicated child support advisers rather than the Foundation. Please understand that, because of the nature and scale of our work, we are not able to guarantee a reply to every letter, and we cannot enter into ongoing correspondence about individual circumstances.

A note on our independence

Everything the Foundation does is grounded in independence and even-handedness. We are not aligned with any political party or movement, and we do not take the side of one parent over another as a matter of principle. The fairness we work toward is fairness for the child support system as a whole — for paying parents and receiving parents alike, and above all for the children whose wellbeing depends on these decisions being sound. We mention this here because it shapes the correspondence we find most useful: writing that engages with the fairness and clarity of the law itself, rather than with the merits of any one person's case.

Thank you for your interest in the Child Support Justice Foundation. If you would like to learn more about what we stand for before writing, we encourage you to read our mission and the description of our work. Together they set out, in detail, why we believe the courts and the careful development of case law are so central to a fairer future for Australian child support.
