Family Court of Australia Chief Justice Diana Bryant and others attacked a decision in 2013 by Victoria Legal Aid (VLA), triggered by budget cuts. It cancelled payments for legal assistance to those who were appearing in child custody matters, did not have a lawyer and were victims of domestic violence. VLA has now reinstated aid for cases in which the perpetrators have been found guilty of breaching an intervention order or of similar family-violence related offences
