- The Executive Council of Australian Jewry, or ECAJ, is an official peak national body representing the Australian Jewish community. It the umbrella organisation for over 200 Jewish organisations across Australia which are ECAJ's constituent or affiliate organisations, or are affiliated to those organisations. These include: (i) the seven roof bodies of the Jewish community in each State and the ACT, which are the ECAJ's Constituent organisations; (ii) approximately 175 Jewish organisations which are constituents or affiliates of the State and ACT roof bodies; (iii) nine other national Jewish organisations which operate in at least 3 States and are the ECAJ's Affiliate organisations; and (iv) the independent branch organisations of the ECAJ's Affiliates. ECAJ is an elected body, but not by rank and file members of the Jewish community. ECAJ Councillors are elected via a collegiate electoral system. Of the ECAJ's 33 Councillors, 25 are directly elected by the members of its constituent organisations, and 8 are appointed by its affiliate organisations. There are no ordinary members. Each councillor is elected or appointed by a constituent or affiliate organisation. Hence the name of the organisation as the "Executive" Council of Australian Jewry. The ECAJ is the Australian affiliate of the World Jewish Congress, the worldwide umbrella organization of Jewish communities. It is also affiliated with the Commonwealth Jewish Council, the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, and the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture.
