Volunteering in justice

During Law Week, we recognise the vital contribution of volunteers who help make Queensland’s justice system fairer, safer and more accessible every day. From courts and legal services to community‑led justice programs, these roles support people at all stages of the justice journey.

If you’re thinking of volunteering, the following services offer meaningful justice‑related opportunities across Queensland.

• Community Justice Groups (CJGs)

  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities who support community‑led justice responses, mediation and cultural advice.

• Community Legal Centres Queensland (CLCQ)

  Law students, lawyers and community members who help deliver free legal advice and support services.

• Court Network

  Provides non‑legal support, information and referrals to people attending court.

• Justices of the Peace (JPs)

  Witnesses documents, certify copies, and support court and community justice services.

• Neighbourhood Watch

  Provides a vital link between police and the community, helping to prevent crime and strengthen community safety.

• PACT (Protect All Children Today)

  Provides court support to children, young people and adult victims and witnesses navigating the court process.

• Queensland Homicide Victims Support Group (QHVSG)

  Provides court and wellbeing support to people who have lost a loved one to homicide.

• Volunteering Queensland

  Connects people with justice‑related volunteer opportunities across Queensland.

• Women’s Legal Service Queensland (WLSQ)

These are just some of the many services where you can make a difference.
