About the Australian Law Reform Commission
The Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC), established in 1973, is a federal agency that conducts inquiries into areas of law at the request of the Attorney General of Australia. The purpose of the ALRC is promoting the review, modernization, and simplification of Australian law. After conducting research, the ALRC makes recommendations to government officials so they can make informed decisions about law reform. The main objective the Australian Law Reform Commission has on law reform is to:
- Bring the law into line with current conditions and needs
- Remove defects in the law
- Simplify the law
- Adopt new or more effective methods of administering the law and dispensing justice
- Provide improved access to justice
The Australian Law Reform Commission is independent of the government and is able to do research, consultations and legal policy development, and make recommendations to the Parliament, all without fear or favor.
