This courtroom is described as the "working courtroom" as it is the venue for the majority of hearings. It provides for up to five Justices, and therefore is used to hear most appeals and applications for leave to appeal. The layout and materials used are similar to Courtroom 1, but on a smaller scale.

Above the bench is the Australian Coat of Arms, sculptured from Australian red cedar by father-and-son team Peter and Laurence Otto. The Ottos, who were born in Holland and migrated to Australia in the 1950s, took five months to carve the Coat of Arms, finishing the work in March 1980.
