Established in 1996, the Australian Indigenous Law Reporter (AILR) is a quarterly peer-reviewed publication of the Indigenous Law Centre, a research centre affiliated with the Law Faculty of the University of New South Wales. The AILR’s primary objective is to provide access to a broad range of legal information and commentary on issues affecting Indigenous peoples in Australia and around the world. It also seeks to provide a platform for academic and political debate, and to aid in the discussion of conceptual developments in Indigenous law. The reputation of the AILR is strengthened by its close ties with an Editorial Panel comprising a number of Australia’s foremost experts on Indigenous law.

The Australian Indigenous Law Reporter (AILR) is unique in Australian legal publishing. It serves to bring current Australian law and commentary together with international developments affecting Indigenous peoples around the world. The importance of such material requires that it be compiled in an accessible form. The AILR is designed to complement the Indigenous Law Centre's long-established, magazine format publication, the Indigenous Law Bulletin (ILB).

The AILR reports not only judicial decisions but covers a range of developments in the law concerning Indigenous peoples. We publish the full text or extracts of some materials and summaries of others. Where the full text is not published, we provide readers with publication details of the full text. Where original material is reproduced, editorial interventions are limited to the provision of introductory information, publication details and cross-references.


The AILR publishes material under the following headings:

The 'Commentary' section contains one or more scholarly articles by leading commentators on an important current issue.
