Australian Arbitration Week 2025

The 13th AAW took place in Sydney from 12–17 October 2025. We were delighted to return to Sydney for the first time since the COVID pandemic.

Attendees enjoyed what they have come to expect from AAW: a week of high-quality, dynamic, and diverse panel discussions, complemented by social events that allowed them to connect and reconnect with friends and colleagues, while experiencing the genuine and warm hospitality Australia is known for.

The AAW Welcome Reception and ACICA’s 40th Anniversary Celebration kicked off AAW, providing an opportunity to gather and catch up ahead of the week’s substantive programme of events. ACICA was also thrilled to feature a special AAW Edition of Law Rocks on Thursday, 16 October 2025, at the Oxford Art Factory as part of the AAW calendar.
