Celebrating 25 years of the Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law
2026 marks a special milestone for the Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law as we celebrate 25 years of shaping conversations that matter. For a quarter of a century the Centre has been a national leader in exploring how law, research and public institutions can work together to strengthen Australia’s democracy.
This year the Centre will host a series of discussions that continue this commitment to bringing people together to reflect, question and help strengthen the democratic systems that support our society.
These discussions will look at how our legal frameworks can safeguard democratic participation while balancing public order and community safety. By examining these questions together, we keep building a more open, inclusive and resilient democracy.
