Indigenous Law and Justice Hub

We undertake research on criminal, civil and family law matters impacting First Nations peoples in Australia, and Indigenous peoples internationally. We provide expert research and advice on justice-related matters.

The Indigenous Law and Justice Hub aims to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, Aboriginal community-controlled organisations, legal service providers, non-government organisations and government to:

  • improve Indigenous justice outcomes
  • ensure access to justice
  • enhance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination

The Indigenous Law and Justice Hub conduct research relating to criminal, civil and family law matters that affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia and Indigenous peoples internationally. We provide expert research and advice on justice-related matters to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, community-controlled organisations, legal service providers, non-government organisations and government. We also provide research opportunities for Indigenous researchers and aim to develop highly skilled Indigenous researchers, including through the supervision of postgraduate research.

Staff in the Hub also produce a range of academic publications including books, book chapters and refereed journal articles, and are recognised both domestically and internationally as leading scholars in their areas of expertise.
