This matter came before Young J in the Family Court of Australia concerning a dispute between a husband and wife regarding their children. The proceedings involved the preparation of a Family Report to assist the Court in determining arrangements for the children.

The Court was required to determine the specific issues to be addressed in the Family Report, including the frequency and duration of the children's time with the husband, methods of communication, conditions for contact, changeover arrangements, the impact of the children's medical conditions, the children's wishes, and the psychological wellbeing of the parents. Furthermore, the Court needed to authorise the Family Consultant to confer with various professionals and individuals involved in the children's care and education.

By consent of the parties, the Court ordered that both the husband and wife cooperate fully with the Family Consultant in the preparation of the Family Report. This included providing all necessary instructions and signing documents to enable the consultant to gather information on the specified issues. The Court also authorised the Family Consultant to communicate with the children's treating paediatrician, psychologists, specialists in autism spectrum disorder, and school personnel. The matter was adjourned for further mention and case management.
