The Chief Magistrate's Executive Office
NSW Local Courts has the largest number of Judicial Officers in a summary jurisdiction in Australia. Under the direction of the Chief Magistrate, the staff of the Chief Magistrate’s Executive Office provide state-wide administrative support to 135 Magistrates (127 full time Magistrates and 8 part time Magistrates).

One of the primary functions of the Chief Magistrate’s Executive Office is to assist the Chief Magistrate in organising and managing the sittings of the Local Court locations throughout NSW.

The Executive Office is responsible for the publication of sittings schedules, rosters, Chief Magistrate’s circulars, Local Court Practice Directions/Notes, listing of cases and collation of statistical information. The Executive Office co-ordinates Magistrate’s travel across the state to ensure requirements for sittings are met and co-ordinate Magistrates attendance at various conferences throughout the year.

Under the supervision of the Chief Magistrate and Deputy Chief Magistrates, the Executive Office is responsible for the day to day listing management and co-ordination of the Downing Centre and Central Local Courts, the largest Local Court complex in the State.

The Executive Office also facilitates strategic and effective working relationships with clients and stakeholders and provides research and project support as required by the Chief Magistrate.

Complaint Handling
The Magistrates of New South Wales are independent Judicial Officers and as such the Chief Magistrate does not possess a supervisory function in relation to Magistrates in the exercise of their Judicial powers.
The Judicial Commission of NSW is the appropriate statutory body that deals with complaints against judicial officers. You can contact them for advice as to their role in dealing with such matters and the process to be followed should you wish to lodge a complaint. The address of the Commission is Level 5, 301 George Street, Sydney, 2000. Telephone (02) 9299-4421.
