About the ALRC
The Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) undertakes research, and provides recommendations to reform the law, on topics selected by the Attorney-General of Australia. More about the ALRC.
The office of the Australian Law Reform Commission has moved to the Harry Gibbs Commonwealth Law Courts Building, Brisbane. The ALRC will continue to be a national body, with Commissioners, staff and representatives located among the states and territories. The relocation of the office occurred in accordance with the Federal Government’s decentralisation agenda. Contact details for ALRC Brisbane office can be found here.
