Rural and Regional communities are generally disadvantaged in comparison to people living in larger cities when accessing legal services, programs or the courts. The Deakin University Centre for Rural Regional Law and Justice has recently been established to undertake research around these issues and is working to improving justice system services for rural Victorians. This session will outline the Centre’s role and activities and the findings of a recent report Postcode Justice Rural and Regional Disadvantage in the Administration of the Law. Delegates will also be alerted to other activities occurring in this area nationally.
