Held at the Hamilton Island Convention Centre, around 170 lawyers and academics from around Australia are expected to attend the three-day conference.

Participants will examine a diverse range of topics, including Australia's anti-terror laws; national security legislation and judicial review; the National Disability Insurance Scheme; disappearing witnesses; dangerous recreational activities; and "jurisdiction shopping".

Speakers include Justice Peter Applegarth, who will discuss the rise of documents and the disappearance of witnesses; constitutional lawyer George Williams, who will speak on Australia's anti-terror laws; lawyers Rod Hodgson and Simon Morrison, who will unravel details of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the National Injury Insurance Scheme; and lawyer Elizabeth O'Shea, who will discuss judicial review and national security legislation.
