Justice reinvestment
The First Nations Justice Office has partnered with the Justice Reform Office to co-lead Queensland’s justice reinvestment approach.
The Queensland Government has committed $5 million in funding over 3 years to establish community-led, place-based justice reinvestment initiatives that will address the underlying causes of crime and reduce Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander over-representation in our justice system.
The Queensland Justice Reinvestment framework informs how the funding is distributed.
We engaged the Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak to develop Queensland’s Justice Reinvestment framework. This framework informs:
- how justice reinvestment will operate
- assessing community readiness
- how initiatives/investments are supported beyond the allocation of initial funding
- how initiatives are monitored and evaluated.
Applications are closed for the Queensland Justice Reinvestment Grant program, with successful organisations to be announced later this year.
