In their own words
eLodgment
eLodgment is a web service for electronically lodging documents in Federal Court of Australia and Federal Circuit and Family Court General Federal Law proceedings. Practitioners, law firms, corporate bodies, and self-represented litigants can register; third parties such as interveners cannot lodge documents on a file through the service. Users can submit initiating or supporting documents and file on existing matters if they know the file number. Registered users may lodge at any time, but submissions received after 4:30pm are deemed filed the next business day. Lodgment History lets users follow processing and retrieve processed documents for three months. Large-volume filers can make reusable templates for standard information. Uploads can be .docx, .pdf, .rtf, .xls, .xlsx, or .jpg, with a 30MB per-file limit; PDF Portfolios and PDFs with Attachments are disallowed. There is no fee to use eLodgment, though court fees may apply to particular document types. It shares single sign-on with eCourtroom. First-time registration approval may take up to one business day.
