The Council
The Aboriginal Justice Advisory Council (the AJAC) was established in 1993 (it was a committee until 1998). The AJAC is comprised of Aboriginal community members whose role is to provide advice to the New South Wales Government on law and justice issues effecting Aboriginal people in this state. The AJAC is funded by the NSW Attorney General's Department, the NSW Department of Juvenile Justice, NSW Police and the NSW Department of Corrective Services.
The Aboriginal Justice Plan
The AJAC is an independent government body responsible for holding the government and its agencies accountable for implementing the Aboriginal Justice Plan (the AJP). The AJP was developed with wide consultation with Aboriginal communities across NSW and affirms the government’s commitment to addressing the underlying causes of offending behaviour to reduce the over-representation of Aboriginal people in the criminal justice system. It provides the foundation for the relationship between the government and Aboriginal people over the next decade. Read the Aboriginal Justice Plan (PDF, 445kb).
The Regions
Note: Messages contained in the Our Kids: Stay Safe, Stay Strong Children's Activity Book are sensitive for children living with domestic and family violence. Where practicable, it is suggested that the book's activities be used as a resource for children under the supervision and guidance of an experienced worker.
Shared Responsibility Agreements
The research reports below address whether Shared Responsibility Agreements (SRAs) facilate the AJAC's Aboriginal Justice Plan (AJP).
