On Tuesday, 21 October 2025, the Hon. Michelle Rowland MP, Attorney-General, opened the CDPP's Sydney Office.
The Attorney toured the office and met with staff.
The formal opening was attended by members of the NSW Judiciary, including the Chief Justice of the NSW Supreme Court, the Chief Judge of the NSW District Court, and the Honourable Justice McNaughton, the Solicitor-General for the Commonwealth, the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions, the heads of various of our partner agencies, or their representatives, and the President of the NSW Bar, and other members of the Bar who prosecute regularly for the CDPP.
The Attorney spoke highly of the importance of our work, saying "The public's confidence in the justice system depends heavily on the integrity of our prosecutors, the ethical conduct, transparency and accountability reinforced legitimacy of our legal institutions. Prosecutors play an indispensable role in maintaining social order and promoting democratic values."
The Attorney complemented the work of the CDPP, saying: "The offences you prosecute are some of the most serious and complex in the country. As an office, I commend you for rising to every new challenge seamlessly."
The Chief Justice remarked on the number of CDPP alumni who are now members of the NSW Judiciary and emphasised the importance of the work of the CDPP to support and ensure the efficient and effective functioning of the Court.
The Director said she was proud of the new office, which is a wonderful working environment for our Sydney staff. The office boasts modern and open working space with great options for meeting and collaboration, a moot court room for developing the advocacy skills, and facilities for vulnerable witnesses to give evidence and meet with our witness assistance service.
