Our strategic plan remains grounded in the principles and values of community justice, links to our existing goals, builds on our strong foundations as Australia’s first and only community justice centre, and identifies opportunities to work in new and different ways to grow our positive impact on community life in the City of Yarra, and other communities, through contributions to the broader justice system. Our strategic plan has been informed by extensive consultation with our staff, partners and peers, and the Yarra community. Their valuable insights and perspectives have helped shape our strategic direction and priorities for the next five years.
