Bar Associations

The Bar Associations bring together groups of barristers based on specialisations and areas of practice.

Members share resources and knowledge, discuss latest cases and issues affecting their areas of legal practice and together lobby for legal reform.

While the Vic Bar supports the Associations and their activities, the Bar Associations have an independent voice.

The Children's Court Bar Association looks particularly at matters related to the Family Division of the Children's Court.

Common Law Bar Association members practise predominantly, but by no means exclusively, in personal injury claims.

Compensation Law Bar Association has about 50 barrister members who deal with compensation matters.

The Criminal Bar Association is the peak body for barristers in Victoria practising in the criminal law.

The Family Law Bar Association represents members of the Victorian Bar practising in the family law jurisdiction.

Industrial Bar Association members practise in all areas of industrial and employment law.

Tax Bar's aims include providing information to the legal profession and community about barristers working in this sphere.
