Burra Lotjpa Dunguludja or Senior Leaders Talking Strong is the fourth phase of the Victorian Aboriginal Justice Agreement (AJA). It is an important step in the long and proud history of the Aboriginal community and Victorian Government working in partnership to improve justice outcomes and family and community safety. In this phase of the Agreement we strengthen and give further expression to the Victorian Government’s commitment to self-determination.
This document is different to previous Victorian Aboriginal Justice Agreements. It is intended to provide a summary of the most important aspects of the Agreement with further detail provided alongside this information in the digital version of the Agreement, which can be found at www.aboriginaljustice.vic.gov.au
Related ItemsWe, the partners of this Agreement, acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Peoples and Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and waterways upon which our lives depend. We acknowledge and pay our respects to ancestors of this country, Elders, knowledge holders and leaders – past, present and emerging. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are steeped in culture and lore having existed within Australia continuously for some 65,000 years. We acknowledge the ongoing leadership of Aboriginal communities across Victoria in striving to build on these strengths to address inequalities and improve Aboriginal justice outcomes.
