In the Australian legal system, Make a Claim works through several different stages/phases which are as follows:

1. Preparation: Before making an actual claim, it is important to gather and obtain all relevant information and documentation so that you may support your case. Documents may include contracts, correspondence, records, photos, and/or statements.
2. Determining Jurisdiction: After you have gathered all the information and documentation needed, you will then need to know which court or tribunal has jurisdiction over your claim.
   Note: Jurisdiction typically means the court’s power/authority to try and hear your claim.
3. Filing your Claim: Once you have determined the proper court/tribunal to file your claim with, you may initiate legal proceedings by filing a formal document which is commonly known as the “claim” said court/tribunal.
4. Serving the Claim: After you have filed your claim, the court/tribunal will then direct you to serve a copy of your claim on the other party or any other parties involved in the legal proceedings. The purpose of this is to inform all relevant parties so that they are aware of the legal proceedings going against them and so that they have the opportunity to respond.
5. Responding to the Claim: When the other parties are served with the copy of your claim, they will be given ample time to respond. Their response will be made by filing a formal response most commonly known as “Defence”. The Defence outlines the responses of the other parties to the allegations set against them.
6. Discovery and Evidence: During the course of the legal proceedings, both parties may engage in a process known as “Discovery”. Discovery is where both parties exchange relevant information and documents related to the claim. Discovery also helps both sides understand the case much better.
7. Resolution: Both parties may also opt to resolve the matter either by negotiations, mediations, or any other forms or alternative dispute resolution. The claim will continue to trial if a settlement cannot be reached. During the trial, the judge or jury will hear the evidence and arguments of both sides.
8. Judgement: Once both sides have finished presenting their evidence and arguments, the court/tribunal will then issue a judgment that will determine the outcome of the claim. This may involve the awarding of damages, issuance of injunctions, or other appropriate orders.
9. Appeals: In some cases, either party has the right to appeal the decision of the court to another higher court based on specific grounds.

The duration of a legal proceeding in the Australian legal system may vary depending on the type of claim and on the present circumstances. There are a lot of factors that may affect the length of time it takes to process your claim.

It’s important to remember as well that each court and tribunal have their own timelines and schedules. A court or tribunal will process your claim on their best availability within a specified time frame. Additionally, factors such as your availability, the availability of your witnesses and experts, procedural delays, and the complexity of your claim may impact the duration of the legal proceedings.

However, despite the variabilities that may affect the length of time that would be required to process your claim, both parties may take steps to expedite this process. For example, both parties may engage in an early settlement negotiation or agree to alternative dispute resolution methods in order to expedite the claim.

You can also rest assured that the Australian legal system is working tirelessly and efficiently to keep working times at a minimum and the costs to process claims low. The Australian legal system will always provide you with the best possible timeframe in processing your claim.

The cost of making a claim in Australia depends on many different factors. Factors such as the type of claim, the complexity of the case, the jurisdiction in which the claim is being heard and other possible variables may have an impact on the amount of the costs.

You may also see the following considerations regarding the costs associated with making a claim in Australia:

1. Court or Tribunal Fees: In most cases, the court or tribunal will impose a fee associated with filing a claim. These fees may differ depending on the type of claim. These fees include filing fees, hearing fees, and other court-related expenses.
2. Legal Costs: If you have sought legal representation, you will typically incur legal costs associated with hiring a lawyer or solicitor. Similar to Court or Tribunal Fees, the fees may differ depending on the type of claim. Such fees may be in the form of the lawyer or solicitor’s hourly rates, fixed fees, and/or contingency feees.
3. Disbursements: In addition to both Court fees and your lawyer’s fees, you might encounter costs associated with disbursements. Disbursements are out-of-pocket expenses incurred by your lawyer or by the court and they are expenses associated with the general processing and furtherance of your claim. This type of fee depends on the nature of your claim and the evidence or documentation required for it.
