This chapter summarises for doctors the sources and forms of the law and the structure and roles of courts and tribunals in Australia. The constitutions of the Australian states and the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 derived their authority from legislation passed in the United Kingdom Parliament. That Parliament in theory was able to amend the Australian Constitution until 3 March 1986 when the Australia Act 1986 came into operation by a proclamation signed by the Queen on that date. The Australia Act 1986 terminated the power of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to legislate for the Commonwealth of Australia or its states and territories. It also ended the links that had existed between the Australian court system and the English court system by terminating the right of appeal to the Privy Council from either the High Court of Australia or the Supreme Courts of the states.
