Achievements over the last 12 months

On 7 June 2023 Joint Council endorsed the Justice policy Partnership (JPP) Strategic Framework in principle and discussed the need for further consideration of specific actions by the Partnership Working Group proposed by the Northern Territory. The JPP Strategic Framework will guide the actions of the JPP and includes a focus on transforming justice systems so they work for, not against, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Partnership elements strengthened

32C(vi) meets in 2023. The Justice policy Partnership Work Plan and the Agreement to Implement the Justice policy Partnership include principles and intent of how this partnership assists/will assist government to align their funding to agreed community priorities.
