Who we are
Health Justice Australia is the national centre of excellence for health justice partnership, supporting collaborations between services to achieve better health and justice outcomes for vulnerable communities.
What we do
Our work builds expertise, identifies system barriers, creates opportunities for systems change, and enables health justice partnerships to expand and increase their impact.
We’re connecting the evidence, expertise and experiences of a diverse range of professionals, researchers and communities to explore partnership to address inequities in health and justice.
We work to build the confidence, skills and readiness of health and justice practitioners, advocates and leaders to work together towards better outcomes for their patients and clients.
We’re working towards lasting systems change through strategic advocacy toward reforms in policy settings, service design and funding.
Resources

If you’re engaging with external evaluators, we’ve got some tips to make the most of their support.

This Legal Health Check is designed to help health and wellbeing staff identify legal issues that can worry people, and where a community lawyer may be able to help.
When looking to build an HJP, it’s important to take the time to learn about the legal assistance sector and which legal services are available for the patients / clients your service supports. This resource outlines community-based legal services in states and territories across Australia.
