Legislation, case law and ATO rulings
These are the sources AccuFind answers from. Each one is counted below, so you can hold us to the numbers.
What the corpus holds
AccuFind holds the full text of judgments from 68 Australian courts and tribunals. It also holds consolidated legislation for all 10 jurisdictions, and public rulings and guidance from the ATO Legal Database.
738,204 judgments across 68 courts and tribunals
Full-text judgments from the High Court of Australia, back to 1903, to the specialist tribunals. These include the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and the Administrative Review Tribunal that replaced it, the Fair Work Commission, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) and the Migration Review Tribunal.
Why it matters
Migration agents need Migration Review Tribunal and Refugee Review Tribunal decisions. Workplace lawyers need the Fair Work Commission. AccuFind holds all of them in full text, as it holds the High Court.
