Courts Administration: Administering Justice for the People of South Australia
The Courts Administration Authority (CAA) is an independent body that administers justice on behalf of the people of South Australia. It is responsible for ensuring that the judiciary controls the administration of courts through which judicial power is exercised. The CAA plays a vital role in maintaining public trust and confidence in the justice system by providing efficient, effective, and accessible court services.
The CAA was established under the Courts Administration Act 1993 and has been operating since 1 July 1994. Its primary function is to provide administrative support to all courts in South Australia, including:
- Supreme Court
- District Court
- Magistrates Court
- Youth Court
- Environment, Resources and Development Court
The CAA also provides support to various tribunals such as:
- Guardianship Board
- Residential Tenancies Tribunal
- Equal Opportunity Tribunal
The CAA's mission is to ensure that all court users receive fair and impartial treatment while accessing timely and efficient services. The authority strives to achieve this by promoting excellence in court administration through innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
One of the key functions of the CAA is managing court facilities across South Australia. This includes maintaining buildings, security systems, technology infrastructure, equipment maintenance as well as providing support staff such as registrars, clerks and other administrative personnel.
Another important aspect of its work involves managing jury services for criminal trials held within South Australian courts. The authority ensures that jurors are selected fairly from a diverse range of backgrounds so that they can represent a cross-section of society.
In addition to these core functions, the CAA also provides various other services such as:
