The Justice and Equity Centre is a leading independent law and policy centre that works to change laws, policies, and practices that cause injustice and inequality. The Centre works collaboratively and in partnership to maximise their influence, focussing on five priority areas: civil rights; disability rights; homelessness; First Nations justice; and climate and social justice.
Balance has contributed to the Justice and Equity Centre's 'Impact Litigation Fund', a fund which will enable the development and maintenance of a portfolio of litigation, including major test cases and class actions, which expose, challenge and defeat systemic injustice and improve the lives of people who are marginalised or facing disadvantage.
