The Network for Justice
Connecting the justice community
About the Network for Justice
With over 1,200 individuals from over 700 organisations, the Network for Justice (NFJ) collates knowledge, insights, and learning from across its membership together with a broad range of expert sources to support access to justice for those most in need.
Through the collation of cross-sector resources, the curation of research briefings, and the convening of cross sector communities of interest and practice, The Network contributes vital evidence, experience, and expertise to amplify key messages, showcase what works, and build an evidence base to help us make the case for continued investment into solutions helping the people, places, and communities most in need access justice.

We also support our members by making connections between organisations, projects, and individuals who are able to share learning, knowledge, and insights where their interests and experiences overlap.
Who can join
Key to the quality of the evidence, learning, and insight we collate is the breadth and depth of our sources of knowledge and information. Because of this we proactively engage the full cross sector range of organisations, individuals and initiatives that support people across the justice spectrum.
