Over 1,000 class actions filed, $1.5 billion in settlements, and a landmark Robodebt settlement that made history.

2025 was a milestone year for class actions in Australia, and 2026 is shaping up to be just as consequential.

Our class actions experts unpack some key developments and trend themes in their latest article – Class Actions in Focus: Defining Decisions in 2025 and Trends to Watch.

The paper outlines notable decisions in 2025, including the High Court decisions that have reshaped procedural and funding dynamics, what to look for in 2026 and some emerging claim trends.

Head of Class Actions, Amanda Beattie, shared: “The class actions environment in Australia is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Class Actions in Focus is designed to cut through the complexity and help organisations understand not just what happened in 2025, but what it might mean for them going forward.”
