What are compulsory Court fees?

When filing an Application for Divorce online, the Court charges a filing fee, which is currently $1,060. This fee is independent of our firm and is charged to every individual applying for a divorce online or offline in Australia.

In certain circumstances, you may be eligible for a reduction of this filing fee to $280. You will only be eligible for this reduction if you receive any of the following means-tested pension or benefits:

1. Health care card;
2. Pension and concession card;
3. Commonwealth senior health card;
4. Any card issued by Centrelink or the Department of Veteran Affairs that certifies an entitlement to Commonwealth health concessions;
5. Youth allowance or Austudy payments;
6. Abstudy benefits.

However, for you to receive this reduction, both parties in the divorce need to be on a pension or benefit.
