Reconceptualising Indigenous access to justice in civil law

该项目旨在研究加强土著在民法和家庭法中诉诸司法的机会，特别是在住房、歧视、社会保障、消费者事务、信贷和债务以及儿童保护等领域。这项研究将查明和审查土著对诉诸司法的理解，以及这些理解可能与非土著社会的不同之处。这项研究的重点是土著社区的24个男性和女性焦点群体，以及澳大利亚各地不同地理环境下的利益相关者访谈。它将调查最恰当地反映土著诉诸司法的土著观点的土著特有框架，以及这些框架在某些民法和家庭法背景下的适用方式。

The project aims to research enhanced Indigenous access to justice in civil and family law, specifically in areas of housing, discrimination, social security, consumer matters, credit and debt and child protection. The research will identify and examine Indigenous understandings of access to justice and the ways that these may differ from non-Indigenous society. The research is centred on 24 male and female focus groups in Indigenous communities, and stakeholder interviews in a range of geographic contexts across Australia. It will investigate Indigenous-specific frameworks that most appropriately reflect Indigenous perspectives of access to justice, and the way that these can be applied in certain civil and family law contexts.
