Justice Reinvestment Program Consultation
In October of 2022, the Attorney-General and the Minister for Indigenous Australians made public a First Nations Justice program. The initiative consisted of investing $81.5 million into as many as 30 justice reinvestment initiatives that are community-led across Australia, and forming an independent national justice reinvestment unit, as suggested by the Australian Law Reform Commission.
This funding package is the most significant ever provided by the Commonwealth for justice reinvestment. Read the media release here.
The Justice Reinvestment Program consultation page is live on the Attorney-General Department website. For a summary of the program, a paper to discuss, and a chance to express your opinion via a submission, please refer to this page. Submissions will close on 10 April 2023.
If you have any questions about the consultation process or in making a submission, please contact justicereinvestment@uts.edu.au or justicereinvestment@ag.gov.au.
