During a mission to Brisbane in September 2025, Ms. Barina Waqa Duburiya held productive meetings with Queensland legal organisations and professional bodies. Outcomes include agreement to progress a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Queensland Law Society (QLS) and NLS — the MoU is currently being drafted.
Focus areas in talks:
- Formal training exchanges and continuing legal education (CLE) collaboration;
- Joint workshops and professional development programs;
- Knowledge-sharing on court modernisation and legal information management.

Stay tuned: program dates, topics and registration details will be published on the NLS website shortly.
Message from the President
“Completing the RONLAW migration is a landmark achievement for Nauru. It reflects our commitment to making the law accessible and usable for practitioners and the public alike. The support from UNDP, the Government of Australia, and our regional partners demonstrates the power of cooperation — and we will keep working to strengthen training, infrastructure and opportunities for our members.”
— Ms. Barina Waqa Duburiya, President, Nauru Law Society
