WHO WE ARE
OUR STORY
Justiz was established in 2014 by Elsie Randall and Helen Keevers, two directors who shared a passion for grass roots involvement in decision making and service planning.
Our aim is to address social justice issues within our local community by:
1. Raising awareness of these issues through social comment.
2. Providing locally relevant services that address an unmet need.
We are aware of the effects of European colonisation on Aboriginal communities, understand the intergenerational trauma that many Aboriginal people experience, and value the richness and diversity of Aboriginal culture.
