Neighbourhood Justice Centre

The Centre for Innovative Justice (CIJ) at RMIT University in Melbourne focuses on researching and applying innovative approaches to improve the justice system, emphasizing therapeutic jurisprudence, restorative justice, and non-adversarial dispute resolution. With a collaborative spirit, the CIJ engages with various community organizations to advocate for the needs of vulnerable populations, including unaccompanied young people and Aboriginal communities. Through projects like the IVY Study on intimate partner violence and initiatives addressing family violence and the treatment of First Nations women, the CIJ aims to promote effective legal solutions and raise awareness about pressing justice-related issues. The center also actively contributes to public discourse through events, submissions, and media engagements, highlighting the importance of access to justice and community-led approaches.
