Expressions of Interest for Membership of Bar Committees 2023-2024

Print article

Expressions of interest are sought from members of the Bar who wish to remain on, or become a member of, one or more of the Bar committees. A copy of the protocol of appointments is accessed here.

It is through the Bar’s committees that a great deal of the work of the Bar as a representative professional institution is done. The selfless contribution of time and effort given by members is a donation of great value to the Bar and to the wider community.

All members who have an interest in serving on any of the committees in 2023-2024 must submit an expression of interest, even if they have previously served on the committee. Existing committee members should note that if you do not complete an expression of interest, it will be assumed that you no longer wish to continue your membership of any committee.

You will need to be logged in to the Bar website to express interest.

All practising counsel are invited to express interest. Experience is not a prerequisite to serve on a committee.

Each Bar committee takes seriously its role in advancing the interests of members of the Bar fulfilling the purposes of the committee. Those seeking election to a committee should, therefore, not underestimate the workload. Click here for a copy of the role descriptions and responsibilities of each of the committees.

The deadline for receipt of expressions of interest is 5:00pm on Thursday, 23 November 2023
