Childrens Court Rules 2016

Service of a document may be proved by an affidavit of service of the document filed in the court.

The affidavit—

for an affidavit of personal service—must be made by the person who served the document and include the following—

the person’s full name;

the time, day and date the document was served;

the place of service;

the name of the person served and how the person was identified; or

otherwise—

must state the dates and facts showing service; and

may be made on information given to, or the belief of, the person causing the service; and

if made on information given to the person—must state the source of the information.

The affidavit of service of the document must—

have the document filed with it as an exhibit or be written on the document; or

if the document has been filed—mention the document in a way sufficient to enable the document to be identified.

Nothing in this rule prevents the proving of service in another way.
