The Women Barristers’ Association aims to:
- Provide a professional and social network for women barristers;
- Promote awareness, discussion and resolution of issues which particularly affect women;
- Identify, highlight and eradicate discrimination against women in law and in the legal system; and
- Advance equality for women across the legal profession generally.
The Women Barristers' Association was formed in 1993 and its inaugural convenor was Judge Rachelle Lewitan.
