In [[Australia]] judges and, since 2007, magistrates, of all jurisdictions including the [[High Court of Australia]] are now addressed as "Your Honour". In legal contexts, they are referred to as "His/Her Honour" and "the Honourable Justice Surname" (for judges of superior courts) or "his/her Honour Judge Surname" (for inferior courts). Outside legal contexts, the formal terms of address are "Judge" (for puisne justices) or "Chief Justice" (for chief justices).

The title for most puisne judges is "Justice", which is abbreviated in law reports to a postnominal "J", in the form "Surname J". Chief Justices of the High Court and of state Supreme Courts are titled "Chief Justice", which is abbreviated in law reports to a postnomial "CJ". Judges in State Supreme Courts with a separate Court of Appeal division (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia) are referred to as Justices/Judges of the Appeal (abbreviated "Surname JA"), while the President of the Court of Appeal is referred to as "President" (abbreviated "Surname P").<ref>New South Wales Supreme Court, [http://www.supremecourt.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/supremecourt/judicialcontacts/addressing_judicial_officers.html Addressing Judicial Officers] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130818100909/http://www.supremecourt.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/supremecourt/judicialcontacts/addressing_judicial_officers.html |date=2013-08-18 }}</ref>
