Australian Academy of Law

The Australian Academy of Law (AAL) is a permanent, non-government organisation devoted to the advancement of the discipline of law. According to its Constitution, the Australian Academy of Law comprises individuals of exceptional distinction from all parts of the legal community, including academia, the practising profession (including private and public sector lawyers), and the judiciary.

The Academy was established on 17 July 2007, following recommendations made in the Australian Law Reform Commission's report, Managing Justice: A Review of the Federal Civil Justice System.

The Academy is registered under the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 (Cth). The Academy was a Deductible Gift Recipient until 30 June 2025, specifically listed in Division 30 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth). The Assistant Minister for Productivity, Competition, Charities and Treasury, the Hon Dr Andrew Leigh MP, wrote in December 2025 to advise the AAL that the Government has announced its intention to amend the tax law to renew the specific listing of AAL as a DGR for gifts made after 30 June 2026 and before 1 July 2031. Renewal of the AAL's specific listing as a DGR involves a change in the tax law, specifically an amendment to Division 30 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The deductibility of donations to the AAL is subject to the amending legislation being passed by parliament.
