About Health Justice Australia

Health Justice Australia is a national charity established in 2016 and is a centre of excellence and knowledge hub for health justice partnership, supporting collaborations between services to achieve better health and justice outcomes for people. We aim to reshape health, community, legal and other service systems to better address intersecting health and legal needs.

Health Justice Australia supports the expansion and effectiveness of health justice partnerships through:

Knowledge and its translation: developing evidence and translating that evidence into knowledge
that is valued by practitioners, researchers, policy-makers and funders.

Building capability: supporting practitioners to work collaboratively, including through brokering,
mentoring and facilitating partnerships.

Driving systems change: connecting the experience of people coming through health justice partnerships, and their practitioners, with opportunities for lasting systems change through reforms to policy settings, service design and funding.

We are committed to an inclusive work environment. Advancing Health Justice Australia’s work to achieve our intended impact, we seek to work with people whose skills and behaviours are aligned to our values, culture and strategy. We value:

Curiosity – We value and welcome opportunities to learn. We actively listen and reflect, including
where there is uncertainty and ambiguity. We seek out expertise and experience that is different to
our own.

Courage – We are ambitious in our purpose and scope. We adapt and change through what we
learn. We acknowledge what is hard and where we can do better.

Integrity – We are authentic and genuine in how we engage. We are transparent in our decision
making. We are accountable for the resources we use and the purpose we put them to.

Respect – We work with, alongside and for others by building trusted, respectful relationships. We
are intentional about where we lead, where we collaborate and where we follow. We value the
wellbeing of our people and the people we work with and for.

About health justice partnerships

Health justice partnerships (HJPs) are collaborations to embed legal help into health, community and other services and teams. They have formed in response to a growing body of evidence that shows there are groups of people who are vulnerable to intersecting legal and health problems, commonly compounded by broader disadvantage, but who are unlikely to turn to legal services for solutions. And yet legal solutions can address social issues or determinants – such as housing, money issues, elder abuse, employment, and family safety and stability – that in turn impact upon health and wellbeing.
