Overview: the third phase of the Aboriginal Justice Agreement (AJA3)
The Victorian Aboriginal Justice Agreement (AJA) is an agreement between the Victorian Government and Koori community to work together to improve Koori justice outcomes.
The continuation of the AJA after completion of its first two phases (launched in 2000 and 2006 respectively), was recommended after an independent evaluation of AJA2, which found that a strong and enduring partnership had been built between justice agencies and the Koori community and that the partnership structures at state-wide, regional and local levels, had set a strong foundation for future initiatives. In responding to the findings and recommendations of the Evaluation, this Agreement builds on and extends the previous two Agreements and ensures its continued relevance.
