The Honourable Catherine Holmes AC SC
The Honourable Catherine Holmes AC SC is an outstanding member of the Australian legal profession who has exemplified excellence in every aspect of her long and distinguished career.
Appointed as Chief Justice of Queensland in 2016, she was the first woman to hold that role. As Chief Justice, Ms Holmes was very supportive of the QUT Law Torts moot program and provided generous provision of access to the Banco Court (the ceremonial Court of the Supreme Court).
Before this appointment, she had served as a judge of the Supreme Court with distinction for over 20 years – including judge of the Court of Appeal (2006 – 2015) and of the Trial Division (2000 – 2006). From 2011 to 2012, Ms Holmes was Commissioner of the Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry.
More recently, Catherine Holmes’ pivotal role as Royal Commissioner on the Robodebt Scheme (2022 –2023) showcased her unwavering commitment to justice and her exceptional legal acumen. The Commission was established to investigate the Government's controversial automated debt recovery program, which had adversely affected numerous individuals across the country. As Royal Commissioner, Catherine Holmes played a crucial part in uncovering the systemic issues and providing recommendations to rectify the injustices caused by the scheme.
Catherine Holmes’ lifelong career and work in the Royal Commission serves as an inspiration to future generations of legal professionals, encouraging them to champion fairness and strive for meaningful change. Her profound legal expertise, coupled with her remarkable judicial temperament, has earned her the respect and admiration of her peers and the wider community.
Catherine Holmes holds a Bachelor of Economics (1977) from the Australian National University; a Bachelor of Laws (1980) from the University of Queensland; a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice (1983) from Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT); and a Bachelor of Arts with Honours (1989) and Master of Laws (advanced) (1998), both from the University of Queensland.
In 2016, she was awarded Doctor of Laws honoris causa by the University of Queensland and Doctor of the University by Griffith University. In 2020, she was awarded Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for her eminent service to the judiciary, notably to criminal, administrative, and mental health law, and to the community of Queensland.
In recognition of her distinguished service to the community, QUT Council has awarded the Honourable Catherine Holmes AC SC Doctor of the University.

Thesis Title
The Datafied Polity: Voter Privacy in the Age of Data-Driven Political Campaigning
Supervisors
- Professor Mark Burdon (Principal Supervisor)
- Dr Kylie Marie Pappalardo (Associate Supervisor)
- Professor Nicolas Suzor (Associate Supervisor)
Citation
Data-driven political campaigning is widely recognised as a threat to privacy and democratic processes. However, accounts of what voter privacy is, why it matters, and how it is threatened by data-driven campaigning vary. This conceptual confusion pervades Australian law. This thesis presents an updated theory of voter privacy and its democratic value for the data-driven age. It reveals the inadequate conceptions of voter privacy which underpin Australian privacy and electoral law and sets out options for law reform which are grounded in an understanding of voter privacy as a collective interest essential to the social aspects of democratic decision-making.

Thesis Title
Tracing the Contextual Factors that Shape the Use of Workplace Wearables
Supervisors
- Professor Mark Burdon (Principal Supervisor)
- Professor Kieran Mark Tranter (Associate Supervisor)
Citation
This thesis investigates the contextual factors that shape the management of wearable devices used to monitor work-related activity. Relevant contextual factors include: the socio-political and legislative imperatives impacting employer decision-making; the use of cloud-based infrastructures, and evolving digital business models. The thesis employed a narrative and visualisation tracing methodology to explore the dynamic interrelationship of contextual factors across three case studies: a smart cap used in mining sites and Fitbits in two corporate settings. The thesis concluded that different workplace wearable uses were influenced by contextual factor application that interacted and changed over time.
