In the matter of *Chamber and Rebuli (No.2)*, Dawe J of the Family Court of Australia considered issues relating to the care, welfare, and development of a child, J Chamber. The proceedings involved the parties to the dispute and an Independent Children's Lawyer.

The court was required to determine the terms of interim parenting orders, including the provision of a Family Consultant's report and the arrangements for the child's time with the father. Additionally, the court considered the release of court documents to parties involved in separate proceedings and the issuance of a subpoena to the South Australian Police.

Dawe J ordered that a Family Consultant prepare a report on matters relevant to the child J Chamber's care, welfare, and development, to be released to the parties and the Independent Children's Lawyer. The court also made interim orders for the child to spend supervised time with the father each Sunday, with a condition of strict supervision by the paternal grandmother and no contact with another child, B. The Independent Children's Lawyer was granted leave to issue a subpoena to the South Australian Police concerning an alleged incident.

The court further ordered that documents from the court file and subpoenaed documents be made available to the Family Consultant and legal representatives in separate proceedings, with strict conditions on their use and dissemination. The matter was adjourned for mention and to prepare for final hearing.
