Bankruptcy forms and guides

Follow these steps to access bankruptcy forms and guides to help you complete the most commonly used forms:

1. Identify the form you require from the table below (for example, Form 6 of the Federal Court (Bankruptcy) Rules 2005).

2. Click on the name of the form (for example, Creditor’s Petition). This link takes you to a new page from where you can download the form and in most instances, a guide to help you fill it out.

3. You can then fill out, save and print out the form or guide on your own computer.

Modified forms are ready to fill out. Using the modified form will help ensure that your form complies with the Federal Court Rules.

Prescribed forms are displayed exactly as they appear in the First Schedule to the Federal Court (Bankruptcy) Rules 2005.

A filing fee applies to some bankruptcy forms. If you cannot afford this fee you can ask the Court to pay a reduced Court fee*.

If you cannot afford this fee, you may be able to ask the Court to reduce it.* You can get a form to ask the Court to reduce payment and information about the circumstances where a reduction can be given on the Exemptions and reduction of fees page or from the Registry.

* Note: Up to October 2010, the Court could waive Court fees in some circumstances. Changes to the Federal Court of Australia Regulations 2004 introduced on 1 November 2010 means the Court can no longer waive fees; the Court can however, reduce the payment of Court fees if it will result in financial hardship.
