Family Violence Act 2016

A person may appeal to the Supreme Court against an appealable decision if the person was a party to the proceeding in which the decision was made.

The person must file a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court not later than 28 days after—

if the appealable decision was the making or amending of a final order and the respondent was not present when the final order was made or amended—the day the final order or amendment is served on the respondent; or

in any other case—the date of the order.

However, the Supreme Court may allow a person to file a notice of appeal after the period mentioned in subsection (2) if satisfied that it is appropriate to do so.
