Community justice centres

Description

Community justice centres (CJCs) were established in New South Wales in 1980 to provide a means of settling the sort of disputes that conventional court based procedures are unable to resolve satisfactorily. The New South Wales Law Reform Commission is required to review the Community Justice Centres Act 1983 (NSW), including the role of CJCs as a statewide conflict management and mediation service; whether the current structure of CJCs sufficiently meets the needs of the Indigenous community of New South Wales; and the role and entitlements of mediators. The final report from the review includes an overview of CJCs, including CJCs and Indigenous people, and recommendations for future reform.
