The High Court of Australia

The High Court of Australia is the nation's top judicial authority, primarily responsible for interpreting and applying the Constitution and laws. It hears cases that involve significant legal principles, especially those that affect the country's constitutional framework. The Court ensures laws are consistent with the Constitution, resolves disputes between states or federal entities, and protects individual rights. Comprising seven justices, including the Chief Justice, it serves as the final court of appeal, making definitive decisions that shape Australian law and legal understanding nationwide.
