Federal Court, Family Court and Federal Circuit Court to discontinue the use of the DX mail service

02/06/2020

The Federal Court of Australia, Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court have today announced that they will discontinue their use of the DX mail service on 30 June 2020.

DX mail is a national document exchange service that provides a next day tracked delivery service between some Court locations and stakeholders who subscribe to DX mail.

A review of the service by the Courts has noted a significant decrease in its use by the profession over time. This is attributed to increased functionality and the ability to eFile court documents on the Commonwealth Courts Portal, with over 84% of all documents now received this way.

Please note that from 1 July 2020, the DX service will no longer be available and practitioners will need to correspond with the Courts via electronic means, courier or Australia Post.
