Statement on Judicial Wellbeing
That judicial well-being is essential for the administration of justice and must be recognised and supported is self-evident.
The task of a judicial officer, at all levels of the judicial hierarchy, carries peculiarly onerous responsibilities.
The vast majority of decisions made by judicial officers in New South Wales affect an individual’s liberty, property, personal well-being and security, family, status and health or financial position.
And the effect of those decisions extends to the families of litigants, victims and to society more generally.
