About NADRAC

The National Alternative Dispute Resolution Advisory Council (NADRAC) is an independent body charged with providing policy advice to the Australian Attorney-General on the development of ADR and with promoting the use and raising the profile of alternative dispute resolution (for more information about NADRAC's functions see its Charter).

NADRAC was established in October 1995 and had its origins in the 1994 report of the Access to Justice Advisory Committee chaired by the Hon Justice Ronald Sackville, Access to Justice - an Action Plan. The report recognised the need for a national body to advise the Government and federal courts and tribunals on ADR issues with a view to achieving and maintaining a high quality, accessible, integrated federal ADR system.

NADRAC is a non-statutory body. Funding is provided through the Australian Government Attorney-General's Department.
