The Jewish Council of Australia is a left-wing Australian Jewish advocacy organisation, founded in February 2024. It was founded to represent non-Zionist Australian Jews, support Palestinian causes, and oppose antisemitism and racism. The Jewish Council, which does not claim to represent all Jews in Australia, is led by human rights lawyer Sarah Schwartz and historian Max Kaiser. Its views have been opposed by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
