Dr Bernadette Boss CSC is leaving the ACT Magistrates Court with her resignation as a judicial officer taking effect from 14 November 2021.

“This includes her dedication to the ACT’s Galambany Circle Sentencing Court which provides effective and restorative processes to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who come into contact with the justice system.
“Dr Boss also made a significant contribution to the Judicial College’s Cultural Diversity Committee. I wish Dr Boss well in her future endeavours.”

With her background as a barrister and in command and staff roles in the Australian Defence Force, Dr Boss has recently served as the interim ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Commissioner for Defence and Veteran Suicide Prevention.
