We're working to help court users have safer, better access to justice by enabling the right technology to take action. That is why our priority initiatives up until 2026 are:
What can I lodge now?
The Legal Practitioner Portal is the first project to be completed as part of the Courts and Tribunals Digitisation Program. Enabling legal practitioners and/or agency staff to access online services available from Court Services Queensland.
The Registry Committal application is the first service available via the Portal.
At this point in time, only legal practitioners and law firm staff can lodge applications through this portal for matters in Brisbane, Cairns and Rockhampton Magistrates Court.
Feedback
Provide feedback via the form on new digital solutions or applications available in Queensland Courts and Tribunals.
