Specialised form of court used for Indigenous offenders in Western Australia
Aboriginal Community Court, or Aboriginal court was the name given to the specialised courts dealing with Indigenous Australian offenders in the state of Western Australia between 2006 and 2015.
The proceedings were conducted in the Magistrates Court of Western Australia.The court was not an actual court of law, but was the commonly referred to designation of the court when dealing with Indigenous offenders accused of crime, to show its distinctiveness from the usual procedures involved in that criminal court, and to demonstrate that the same court structure deals with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous offenders. The court allowed the involvement of the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the sentencing process.[1]
