Western Australian judges have made an historic pledge to right the wrongs of the past and work to build trust and confidence in the justice system for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The promise comes in the form of the Western Australian Courts and Tribunals Reconciliation Statement, which the state's Chief Justice Peter Quinlan said would help hold everyone in the system to account.
