WE ARE A SOCIAL JUSTICE AGENCY

JUSTIZ COMMUNITY

Justiz Community is an Aboriginal-owned and operated leading provider of disability services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities servicing the Lower Hunter and Maclean Valley regions. We are a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) registered provider endorsed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

Justiz helps people in need of support, their families, carers and service providers to achieve their aspirations. Support is offered through various culturally appropriate means in consideration of the individuals and communities we serve. Our services include grassroots coordination of supports, cultural supports, social groups, mentoring, and programs for businesses.

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.
