Please join us at an event being run by QUT Centre for Justice on Thursday 26 November.
Following a difficult year where COVID-19 has reshaped the way we do so many things, we are looking forward to sharing a facilitated conversation with a panel of community service providers and practitioners to share their lessons and insights into how justice will be ‘done’ moving forward.
Our panel will come together and their discussion will be live-streamed via webinar.
