The Aboriginal Justice Agreement Burra Lotjpa Dunguludja Phase 4 (AJA4) is a partnership agreement between the Victorian Aboriginal community and the Victorian Government and initiatives are co-designed to focus on reducing the over-representation of Aboriginal people in the justice system by prioritising culturally safe, early intervention and diversionary approaches.
The LJWP is an initiative of the AJA4, delivered by Aboriginal Community Organisations across Victoria. The LJWP drives self-determination and several strategic priorities including the AJA4 Goal (2.3) – Fewer Aboriginal people progress through the criminal justice system.
The LJWP aims to support Aboriginal people in various aspects of the justice system including increasing the likelihood that Aboriginal people successfully complete Community Corrections Orders (CCOs), supporting individuals with outstanding fines and warrants to meet their obligations, and providing community education about justice systems, processes, and obligations.
