The Judicial Council on Diversity and Inclusion is an initiative of Chief Justice French and endorsed by the Council of Chief Justices of Australia (CCJ).

Its purpose is to develop frameworks, best practice advice, and resources to support procedural fairness and equality of treatment for all court users – regardless of their race, colour, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexuality, gender identity, ability, or age – and to promote public trust and confidence in Australian courts and the judiciary.

The Council is composed of members drawn predominately from the judiciary, with select representation from legal and community bodies. Members are selected to balance gender and court level.

Our purpose is to develop a framework to support procedural fairness and equality of treatment for all court users, and to promote public trust and confidence in Australian courts and the judiciary.
