The Murri Court is a Queensland Magistrates Court which deals with sentencing youth and adult Indigenous offenders. The Murri Court takes into account cultural issues by providing a forum where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have input into the sentencing process.

Queensland has four levels of court jurisdiction and a number of tribunals set up by state laws to deal with various offences and disputes from murder to failure to register a dog. The type of offence or dispute determines which court or tribunal will deal with it.

Domestic violence is not limited to physical abuse. It covers any type of abusive behaviour that occurs in a domestic situation — physical, sexual, psychological, verbal, financial or social. In other words, domestic violence occurs when one partner in a domestic relationship uses violent or otherwise intimidating behaviour to control or dominate the other.

Each person’s experience of domestic violence, and their reaction to it, is unique. It is important that you respond to the particular needs of each aggrieved spouse who has been subjected to such abuse, and recognise that they need varying degrees of support. This is an important part of your job.
