The Australian Legal Convention 2025 will be held at the High Court of Australia in Canberra from 20 to 22 November.

The purpose of the Convention is to bring together a cross-section of bodies and institutions within the Australian legal system to provide a national framework for engaging in dialogue to identify and explore responses to current and emerging issues.

The dialogue will be structured by reference to seven broad themes: Legitimacy, Artificial Intelligence, Family and Sexual Violence, Institutional Well-being, First Nations Justice, Access to Justice and Legal Education. Most themes will be introduced in plenary sessions before dividing into streams to facilitate discussions on identified topics.

Noting the High Court building's capacity limitations, in-person attendance places are now full. To facilitate access for those who cannot attend in person, we are pleased to provide access to a livestream of the Convention plenary addresses and some workshops. The livestream is provided free of charge, thanks to sponsorship from the Victorian Legal Services Board. 

The livestream link can be found here:

The Women’s Legal Centre ACT is pleased to invite you to a free Exit Trafficking Seminar for Legal Practitioners, presented by Anti-Slavery Australia in collaboration with the Women's Legal Centre ACT.

Exit trafficking is where a person is forced, pressured or tricked into leaving Australia. After travelling overseas, they may be abandoned, trapped or exploited, often making it difficult for them to return to Australia or get help.

Key topics will include:

  • What is exit trafficking?
  • Common signs and indicators
  • Intersections with other forms of modern slavery and violence
  • Case studies
  • Support options and referral pathways

The seminar will take place from 10:30am-12:30pm on Thursday 4 December at Women's Legal Centre ACT, Canberra City (address to be provided on registration)

Light refreshments will be provided. Please register here by 19 November, noting that spaces will be limited.
