About Australian Institute of Administrative Law

The principal objects of the Australian Institute of Administrative Law (AIAL) are to promote knowledge of and interest in Australian Commonwealth, State and Territory administrative law, and to provide a forum for the exchange of information and opinions on all aspects of administrative law and administrative practices. Administrative law is principally the law of government actions, decisions, processes and accountability, and extends to the actions and accountability of other bodies. It includes therefore the basic constitutional arrangements for government, and the basic legal checks on government, in particular by parliaments, courts and tribunals, Ombudsmen and other bodies. In pursuing these aims, AIAL publishes a journal, AIAL Forum, organises an annual National Administrative Law Conference and National Administrative Law Lecture, conducts regular seminars across Australia, hosts an active website, awards essay and academic prizes, from time to time funds research on administrative law issues, and conducts other activities. AIAL is a not-for-profit association incorporated in the ACT. The AIAL National Executive has overall responsibility for AIAL activities. AIAL has State Chapters responsible for AIAL activities in each State. AIAL is not an advocacy group for any particular issue or position in relation to administrative law.
