National College of Court Reporting

The Court Reporting and Captioning Program commenced in 1987 in the University of South Australia which administered the fee-paying course until June 30, 1998 when it was transferred to the National College of Court Reporting.

Since then the program has been conducted by the NCCR, under the same terms and conditions as previously, with lecturers who are court reporters, and with the original director, Paula Roberts, who developed the program in 1987.

From its inception, the program has been conducted with the close collaboration of the South Australian Courts Administration Authority, State and Federal Hansards, the Australian Caption Centre, and the SRAA (Shorthand Reporters’ Association of Australia).
