This is a list of the first women judge(s) in Australia. The first court was established in 1788,[1] the first woman to be awarded a Bachelor of Laws degree graduated in 1903,[2] and the first woman barrister was admitted in 1905.[3] It was not until 1965 that the first woman was appointed to an Australian judicial position.[4] These pioneering Australians have been described as members of the FW2 club or First Woman to club.[5] The list includes positions to which no woman has been appointed as of March 2022[update]. It does not include abolished courts to which no woman was appointed, such as the Commonwealth Industrial Court.
