4. Track a case (with the Commonwealth Courts Portal (CCP))
Members of the public:
Members of the public are able to track an open case and be notified by email of the next court event, e.g. hearing or delivery of judgment. This service is only available to registered users.
Steps
1. Register (or login) to the CCP
2. Search for the file - either by names of the parties or the file number if you have it.
3. Under each Application, click on "Notify me by email of activity on this application".
If there is more than one application, you will need to do this several times.
Lawyers and self-represented litigants:
If you are a lawyer or a self-represented litigant, the Commonwealth Courts Portal includes several features to assist you to manage your files, including organising files, viewing your court diary, and the ability to view some court documents (once access has been granted).

There are various types of feed readers.
