Enabling Justice Project Consultation Paper

Publication date: 22 June 2016

This Consultation Paper is the result of a collaboration between Jesuit Social Services and RMIT University’s Centre for Innovative Justice, which addresses the over-representation of people with acquired brain injuries (ABIs) in the criminal justice system.

The paper gives voice to the experience of participants in the Enabling Justice Project who have an ABI and who have experienced the criminal justice system. It provides stakeholders with powerful insight into how and where the criminal justice system is failing to meet the needs of individuals with ABI. Opportunities for earlier intervention and support are also identified and a range of interim options and questions for consideration

We call upon stakeholders to engage with the options and provide feedback to the Project Coordinator at cij@rmit.edu.au by 31 July 2016.

Federal Pre-Budget Submission 2024-25
Jesuit Social Services calls on the Federal government to devote resources towards reducing inequity and exclusion, and ensuring people on the margins are given every opportunity to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. The upcoming budget must provide meaningful cost of living relief, especially for people on the lowest incomes, and must provide adequate and secure funding for the community service organisations that are dealing with unprecedented levels of demand in the face of events such as the worsening housing crisis.
