Ms Gaudron was appointed by the New South Wales government in 1981 (the youngest ever appointed, and first female solicitor-general of an Australian jurisdiction) and held this office until appointment to the bench in 1987. She was the youngest judge ever appointed in Australia, and the first woman High Court judge.
