QUT Centre for Justice aims to empower and enable citizens, consumers and communities through solutions-oriented research. Our vision is to democratise justice by improving opportunities for health and well-being, at both an individual and global level, and enhancing the inclusiveness of work and education while widening access to justice.
Our research priorities stem from how justice is being delivered in the digital age, considering the complex factors that transform justice through social activism and the wellbeing of the planet, geopolitics and systems of governance.
