Message from the CEO and Principal Registrar
The Corporate Plan is our primary non-financial planning document. It outlines the strategic direction, goals, challenges and priorities for the Federal Court Entity.
The Corporate Plan focuses on the planned future work of the Federal Court of Australia, the National Native Title Tribunal, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1), the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2), Commonwealth Courts Corporate Services and Commonwealth Courts Registry Services. The report outlines how we will achieve our goals against our stated purpose and how we will measure our performance.
The Corporate Plan, Portfolio Budget Statements and Annual Performance Statement (included in the Annual Report) are the core elements of the Commonwealth performance framework.
The last few years have seen the Courts and the National Native Title Tribunal fast track our digital reform agenda to be able to continue to deliver vital services during the pandemic. This included leveraging the benefits of technology to facilitate access to justice in regional and remote locations. Over the four years of this plan, we will continue to deliver priority programs and services to better support our litigants and stakeholders through a significant program of works.
This plan will be reviewed each year, allowing us to continue to refine and adapt our efforts and ensure we achieve our objectives.
I look forward to the challenging work of the next several years and I am pleased to present the Federal Court of Australia Entity Corporate Plan for 2023–24.
