The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice Phase 3 (AIPJ3) is a five-year, A$63 million investment by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to work in partnership with the Government of Indonesia (GOI) to support advancement of its priority law and justice reforms. Building on previous phases, AIPJ3 will support partners to deliver activities against agreed policy priorities, while maintaining flexibility to respond to emerging needs and opportunities. The program focuses on seven policy priorities that are important to Australia and Indonesia: accountability and transparency, criminal justice reform, preventing violent extremism, transnational crime cooperation, commercial law, access to justice, and women’s leadership.

Strengthening the handling of marriage dispensation applications is a key component of AIPJ3’s efforts to improve access to justice and child protection in Indonesia. Marriage dispensation proceedings have significant implications for children’s protection and future wellbeing. In practice, judges often have limited information about a child’s circumstances, including their family situation, physical and mental health, educational continuity, protection risks, and support service needs when examining and deciding marriage dispensation applications. This can limit the court’s ability to comprehensively assess the best interests of the child.

To strengthen child protection in these proceedings, the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA), with support from the Australia–Indonesia Partnership for Justice Phase 2 (AIPJ2), developed a draft Guideline for the Preparation of Child Protection Reports in Marriage Dispensation Applications, including a Child Protection Report (Laporan Perlindungan Anak/LPA) template. The LPA is intended to provide judges with comprehensive information to support informed decision-making. However, following consultations with KPPPA and other key stakeholders, the draft guideline and LPA require further refinement to improve their practicality, strengthen implementation arrangements, and better support their consistent use by Pusat Pembelajaran Keluarga (PUSPAGA).
