Our platform brings together the daily court lists from the Supreme Court of Western Australia, the District Court of Western Australia, the Magistrates Court of Western Australia, the Family Court of Western Australia, the Coroners Court, and the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) into one searchable directory, covering more than 60 court venues across the state.

Western Australia has the most geographically dispersed court system in the country, spanning approximately 2.5 million square kilometres - from the metropolitan courts of Perth to remote circuit courts in the Kimberley, the Pilbara, the Goldfields, and even Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the Indian Ocean. According to the Magistrates Court of Western Australia Annual Report, criminal case lodgements reached 104,002 in 2024-2025, up from 93,180 in 2023-2024 - an increase of nearly 12%. The District Court finalised 405 criminal cases and 49 civil cases by trial during the same period. With this volume of court activity happening across a state that covers one-third of the Australian continent, a centralised platform for searching Western Australia court listings is essential for legal professionals, support workers, and the public.

What Courts Are Covered in Our Western Australia Court Listings?

Our WA court list coverage spans every tier and specialist jurisdiction within the Western Australian court system.

Supreme Court of Western Australia

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the state. It handles the most serious criminal offences - including murder, manslaughter, armed robbery, and large-scale drug trafficking - and has unlimited civil jurisdiction, typically hearing civil claims exceeding $750,000 and complex commercial, equity, and property disputes.

The Supreme Court includes the Court of Appeal, which hears appeals from the District Court and single-judge Supreme Court decisions. The Supreme Court sits primarily at the David Malcolm Justice Centre (28 Barrack Street, Perth) and also uses courtrooms in the District Court Building (500 Hay Street) for criminal matters. Circuit sittings are conducted at regional centres including Broome, South Hedland, Kalgoorlie, Geraldton, and Albany. Our daily Supreme Court list covers all sittings, including criminal trials, civil hearings, appeal matters, and circuit court hearings.

District Court of Western Australia

The District Court is the principal trial court for serious criminal and civil matters. It handles indictable offences such as sexual assault, serious fraud, armed robbery, grievous bodily harm, and drug trafficking, and has civil jurisdiction for claims generally between $75,001 and $750,000, with unlimited jurisdiction for personal injury claims. The District Court also hears appeals from the Magistrates Court. The District Court sits at the District Court Building (500 Hay Street, Perth) and conducts circuit sittings at regional centres including Albany, Broome, Bunbury, Busselton, Carnarvon, Derby, Esperance, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Kununurra, and South Hedland.

Magistrates Court of Western Australia

The Magistrates Court handles the vast majority of legal proceedings in Western Australia. It deals with:

  1. Criminal matters: Summary offences (traffic offences, minor assault, theft, drug possession, disorderly conduct), indictable offences heard summarily, committal proceedings for serious matters destined for the District or Supreme Court, and bail applications
  2. Civil matters: Civil disputes involving claims of up to $75,000, including debt recovery, property damage, and consumer disputes
  3. Family violence restraining orders (FVROs): Applications under the Restraining Orders Act 1997 to protect victims of family and domestic violence
  4. Violence restraining orders (VROs): Orders to protect a person from personal violence, intimidation, or threats
  5. Misconduct restraining orders (MROs): Orders dealing with persistent misconduct or property damage

The Magistrates Court operates from more than 60 venues across Western Australia, making it the most geographically widespread court in the country. In the Perth metropolitan area, the main court sits at the Central Law Courts (501 Hay Street, Perth), with suburban courts at Armadale, Fremantle, Joondalup, Midland, Mandurah, and Rockingham. Major regional courts include Albany, Bunbury, Busselton, Carnarvon, Derby, Esperance, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Kununurra, Northam, South Hedland, and Broome. The court also conducts circuit sittings at dozens of remote locations across the Kimberley, Pilbara, Goldfields, and Mid West regions, including Fitzroy Crossing, Halls Creek, Wyndham, Newman, Tom Price, Meekatharra, Laverton, Leonora, Wiluna, Mullewa, Cue, Exmouth, Onslow, Shark Bay, Nullagine, and Aboriginal communities such as Balgo, Bidyadanga, Blackstone, Jigalong, Kalumburu, Looma, Warakurna, Warburton, and Warmun.

The Family Court sits primarily at the Family Court Building (150 Terrace Road, Perth) and at regional locations including Albany, Broome, Bunbury, Geraldton, and Kalgoorlie. Our listings include Family Court daily lists.

Frequently Asked Questions About WA Court Lists

How do I search WA court lists by name?

On CourtListAU, you can browse individual court pages to find specific matters listed for today. The official eCourts portal (ecourts.justice.wa.gov.au) publishes daily lists but requires you to navigate by court type and location separately. CourtListAU simplifies this by aggregating all WA court listings - Magistrates, District, Supreme, Family, Coroners, and SAT - into one browsable directory.

Are Western Australia court lists free to access?

Yes. All WA court lists on CourtListAU are completely free to access. Daily court lists are public records published under the principle of open justice. No registration, login, or payment is required.

How often are WA court lists updated?

Court lists in Western Australia are updated daily through the eCourts portal. Our platform reflects the most recent available data. It is always recommended to verify details with the relevant court registry before attending, as schedules can change without notice.

What is the difference between the Magistrates Court, District Court, and Supreme Court in WA?

The Magistrates Court handles the majority of criminal and civil matters, including summary offences and civil claims up to $75,000. The District Court handles more serious indictable offences and civil claims between $75,001 and $750,000, with unlimited jurisdiction for personal injury claims. The Supreme Court is the highest state court, dealing with the most serious criminal cases (such as murder) and civil disputes exceeding $750,000.

Why does Western Australia have its own Family Court?

Western Australia is the only state in Australia that operates a separate state Family Court. When the federal Family Law Act 1975 was enacted, WA chose to establish its own court rather than refer family law matters to the federal system. The Family Court of Western Australia handles divorce, parenting orders, property settlements, and child protection matters. In all other states, these matters are handled by the federal Family Court of Australia.

What is the eCourts portal?

The eCourts portal (ecourts.justice.wa.gov.au) is the official Western Australian government platform for viewing daily court lists. It covers the Magistrates Court, District Court, Supreme Court, Family Court, Coroners Court, and the State Administrative Tribunal. The eCourts portal requires users to select a court type and location before viewing daily lists. CourtListAU provides a faster alternative by presenting all WA courts on a single page with direct links and live case counts.

Can I find court sentencing results for WA?

CourtListAU displays the daily hearing schedule - what matters are listed, in which courtroom, and at what time. For sentencing results and court outcomes in Western Australia, you can check the official court websites. The Supreme Court publishes selected judgments and sentencing remarks at supremecourt.wa.gov.au, and the District Court publishes selected decisions at districtcourt.wa.gov.au.

What courts sit in remote WA communities?

The Magistrates Court conducts extensive circuit sittings across remote and regional Western Australia, including Aboriginal communities in the Kimberley (Bidyadanga, Balgo, Kalumburu, Looma, Warmun, Dampier Peninsula), the Pilbara (Newman, Tom Price, Nullagine, Onslow), the Goldfields (Laverton, Leonora, Wiluna, Blackstone, Warakurna, Warburton, Jigalong), and even the Indian Ocean Territories (Christmas Island and Cocos Islands). The District Court and Supreme Court also travel on circuit to major regional centres for serious criminal matters.
