Federal Court of Australia

The Federal Court of Australia is the Australian court in which most civil disputes and some summary criminal matters governed by federal law are decided. It is on the same position in the Australian court hierarchy as the Supreme Courts in each of the states and the only court above it is the High Court of Australia. On the federal level, it shares the same position as the Family Court of Australia but it is above the Federal Magistrates Court. The court was established in 1976 by the Federal Court of Australia Act.
