Background

The Aboriginal Justice Centre Inc was incorporated in late 2005 under the ACT Associations Incorporation Act 1991.  The Aboriginal Justice Centre Inc Board is comprised of members of the ACT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community. All appointments are for a one year term and positions are voluntary.

The AJC replaced the Aboriginal Justice Advisory Committee (AJAC) in 2006 and was developed to assist in implementing the Governments recommendations of the '1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody report'.
