Increasing Indigenous representation in Australia’s legal profession Increasing Indigenous representation in Australia’s legal profession Share While the number of women in law has substantially increased in the last decade, the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lawyers has remained stagnant. However, while Australia’s legal profession has never been bigger and women have never made up such a large percentage of that profession, the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lawyers has not increased. Indeed, the share of Indigenous solicitors hasn’t changed since 2014  it remains at 0.8 of a percentage point. In 2016, there was a slight increase in the proportion of Indigenous solicitors (rising to 1.2 per cent), before slumping to 0.7 of a percentage point in 2018 and then stabilising at 0.8 of a percentage point this past year.
