WHO WE ARE

The Australian Association for Restorative Justice (AARJ) is a Professional Association of individuals and organisations working with restorative justice and restorative practices.

AARJ promotes effective decision-making, dispute resolution, and conflict management to restore right relations in justice systems and in educational, work, faith, and residential communities – indeed, wherever people are seeking fairer, safer ways to heal harm and to promote individual and community well-being. The Association works to:

• support regional restorative practice networks;
• promote restorative practices in specific professions;
• develop restorative practice skills;
• provide convenor accreditation;
• refine restorative practice standards;
• foster effective public policy.
