Overview

Aboriginal community justice groups are representative groups of Aboriginal people who come together to examine the crime and offending problems in their communities and develop ways to address these issues. The groups work with different parts of the criminal justice system to make sure the system works better for people in their communities in New South Wales (NSW).

Aboriginal community justice groups are based on the idea that local aboriginal people know their own communities and problems. Therefore, the groups can solve local community problems better by developing local community solutions.
