They want the court relocated because they think current location on the corner of Brisbane and George Streets is too small and set up in a way that puts the safety of court users at risk.

Family Law Practitioners Association of Tasmania chairwoman Julia Higgins said a man tried to jump a front counter while children in the building in November and court users are routinely intimidated.

"We do get people taken up there on a warrant and police have to take them to court," Ms Higgins said as she explained how the court's location impacted a range of users.

"The police hate doing that because there's nowhere for them to park, sometimes they've got to march people up Brisbane Street in their handcuffs."

A proposed new location for the court had been previously suggested, but no action appeared to have been taken to advance the idea.

"The new location was going to be within a closer proximity of the police station, closer to the Magistrates Courts and Supreme so you'd almost have a legal precinct," Ms Higgins said.

"If we need to move to another location then we obviously need the government to be working with the courts because there is a funding issue."

In October Federal Attorney-General Christian Porter said he would visit Launceston to inspect the court.

He also pledged to respond to correspondence about safety concerns, which was sent last year.

"We've never formally had any response," Ms Higgins said.

"We'd really like that followed through."

Mr Porter said he would respond to the Family Law Practitioners of Tasmania "very shortly".

"That response will include addressing the matters raised by Ms Higgins in an updated letter received by my office at the end of last year," he told The Examiner.

"I remain committed to visiting Launceston and continue to discuss the security and accommodation needs with the heads of the courts."

Ms Higgins praised Bass Liberal MHR Bridget Archer for visiting the court and listening to the legal community's concerns.

"She [Ms Archer] agreed that she wanted the Attorney-General to come down and see for himself," Ms Higgins said.

"We don't want to get into politics, we want to work together with him."
