2023-2024 Executive Summary
The Department of Justice supports the community, Western Australian Government, judiciary and State Parliament through the provision of access to high-quality justice, legal and corrective services, information and products.
The Department is the agency principally responsible for assisting the Attorney General and the Minister for Corrective Services in developing and implementing policy and the administration of, and compliance with, 192 Acts of Parliament.
During the reporting period, several significant milestones and projects were realised across the Department. Our Court and Tribunal Services division expanded court resources with the opening of the $86 million state-of-the-art Armadale Courthouse and Police Complex and new Family Court facilities, and commenced a pilot therapeutic court program which aims to divert young people identified as high risk from the criminal justice system and reduce reoffending. Called In-Roads, the program offers individualised, therapeutic and culturally safe community supports to those who have pled guilty to criminal charges.
I would like to extend my gratitude to all our executive, managers, staff and partner agencies for the wide-ranging responsibilities they undertake and the professional manner in which they discharge their duties, often in tough circumstances.
