• To advocate for the elimination of those wrongs and redress for those affected
• To improve access to essential services for Indigenous communities
• To strengthen the capacity of Indigenous Australians to engage in public policymaking and advocacy

PIAC’s record

• Creating the Indigenous Justice Program
• Ensuring support for stolen wages claimants
• Providing support and advocacy to members of the Stolen Generations

PIAC’s Indigenous Justice Program (IJP) was developed to:

The IJP benefits from the generous support of the private law firm, Allens Arthur Robinson.
