Information about justice services that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
A focus area of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Agreement is that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their families and communities thrive in a safe environment and have equitable access to justice and culturally safe restorative practice, prevention and diversion programs.
