Neighbourhood Justice Centre

The Neighbourhood Justice Centre (NJC) was established in Collingwood, Victoria as a three year pilot commencing in January 2007. The development of the NJC reflects a universal growing interest in addressing the underlying causes of criminal behaviour and disadvantage as well as improving access to justice. The NJC is a community justice centre incorporating a multi-jurisdictional court offering access to a range of services delivered to assist victims, defendants, civil litigants and the local community. All legal matters brought before the Centre will be heard and determined by the Centre’s Principal Magistrate. An NJC Officer is appointed to the Centre to assist the Magistrate.
