In 2012, NAAJA received funding from the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department to run an exciting partnership with Night Patrol services in a number of remote Aboriginal communities to provide legal education and training to Night Patrol staff.
The project aims to build greater knowledge and understanding of law and the legal system. The project also aims to improve access to justice for Night Patrol clients by equipping Night Patrol to assist with timely and appropriate referrals and enhance collaboration with police, service providers and the community to improve community safety.
We have developed a range of legal and cross cultural communication resources and training to support NAAJA staff to continue to deliver high quality, specialist legal services to Aboriginal people and communities across the top end.
