From 12 April 2013, the Federal Magistrates Court is now known as the Federal Circuit Court of Australia.

"The name of the Court was changed to more accurately reflect the role of the Court and its accessibility for all court users. The inclusion of 'circuit' to the name highlights the prominence of the Court's circuit work in regional areas and 'federal' reflects the broad jurisdiction in both family law and general federal law."
