Where we are up to
The Koori Justice Unit has carried out research into Aboriginal Impact Assessment regimes that exist both nationally and internationally. Members of the Aboriginal Justice Caucus will consider these findings, with the view of identifying the potential impact of new justice policies and legislation on Aboriginal Victorians.
Background
Reducing Aboriginal over representation in the justice system requires greater consideration of the impacts of new legislation and legislation already in place. Through the development of Burra Lotjpa Dunguludja, phase four of the Victorian Aboriginal Justice Agreement, the Aboriginal Justice Forum partnership has committed to ensuring that Aboriginal people are not disproportionately worse off under policies and legislation, by ensuring that disproportionate impacts are identified and remedied during their development.
