The Department of Justice and Community Safety through the Koori Justice Unit, is inviting applications for the Aboriginal Justice Agreement (AJA) Bail and Remand Support Grants Program.
It is intended to support Aboriginal organisations to deliver self-determined, culturally led services and programs that address local needs and improve justice outcomes for Aboriginal people on bail and remand.
The total funding available across the state is $20 million to 30 June 2028. Applications are sought for Aboriginal-led, community-based programs or services that provide bail and/or remand support for Aboriginal men, women and/or youth (and their families) across three stages of the criminal justice system, including:
- accessing supports for individuals when applying for bail
- support to successfully complete bail
- support during transition out of remand.
An approved Deed of Confidentiality is required for access to the Specification at Part A1.
