Composition
The court is composed of magistrates and youth magistrates. Every stipendiary magistrate of the Magistrates Court of the Northern Territory is automatically a magistrate of the court.
In addition, the Chief Magistrate of the Northern Territory may appoint magistrates as youth magistrates.
In either case, both magistrates have jurisdiction to made orders in the court. Unlike other states and territories of Australia, there is no senior or children's magistrate.
