QUT Centre for Justice aims to empower and enable citizens 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. The Centre is an incubator for new ideas and for social change, and a hub for dissemination, engagement, deliberation and debate, influence and impact.
The Centre is truly interdisciplinary, drawing its membership from academics in the disciplines of Justice, Law, Education, Business, Creative Industries, Health, Data Science and Engineering.

Our research is co-designed with industry partners in government, community, for-profit and not-for-profit agencies, across Australia and internationally. In practice and theory, we explore the proposition that research can help to make the delivery of justice available and meaningful to all, regardless of social, legal, political, economic or other circumstances, and where they are situated. Our research focuses on finding solutions to social injustice, regardless of social status or geo-political spatial location in a globalised world.
