Does GPN-AI apply to every case in Canberra?
It applies to Federal Court proceedings. An ACT Supreme Court or ACAT matter follows what that body has published.
ACT Courts and ACAT
ACT court AI practice notes
Canberra is not a single jurisdiction. Name the court. ACAT is not the ACT Supreme Court and not the Federal Court. Do not collapse them into one rule.
No dedicated Territory note was listed as at 14 May 2026
Commonwealth proceedings heard in Canberra follow the federal note for that court, such as GPN-AI in the Federal Court. Territory matters follow what the ACT Courts have actually published.
No dedicated ACT court AI protocol was listed on the Law Society of New South Wales index as at 14 May 2026
