Following on from the Columbus case management pilot conducted in 2001-2002, Case Assessment Conferences (CACs) were introduced in the Family Court of Western Australia in July 2004 to promote client-focussed, collaborative, interdisciplinary case management and to include risk screening and assessment as a central element in the process. A total of two hours was allowed for each CAC and covered three phases: screening and assessment, negotiation, and the procedural hearing, which incorporated the ability to make Consent Orders without a further court attendance. This evaluation report assesses the CAC process as: 1) an early intervention and screening case assessment procedure focused on achieving best outcomes for children; 2) a referral procedure that identified the practical and emotional obstructions to reaching agreement and recommended strategies to assist parties in finding resolutions to their disputes; and 3) a case management system that reduces litigation and time taken and increases client satisfaction. The evaluation study involved a comparison of cases before and after the introduction of CAC and interviews with participating parents, legal practitioners, and Court personnel. This report presents the findings and recommendations of the evaluation.
