The Minjerribah Moorgumpin Elders in Council are launching a Justice Reinvestment partnership with the community, as well as with the Commonwealth Attorney-General and collaborative partners, to help improve justice outcomes for Goenpul, Ngugi and Noonuccal Peoples.

Launching on Friday, Justice Reinvestment (JR) is a community-led and holistic approach which focuses on improving justice outcomes for First Nations people.

In a statement, the Minjerribah Moorgumpin Elders in Council (MMEIC) said for Goenpul, Ngugi and Noonuccal Peoples, "justice means living in harmony and connection with our Country, ancestors, families, community, yurees (totems), and non-human relations, our lore/law".

"Beyond physical needs, our wellbeing depends on our spiritual, social, emotional, mental, economic, and cultural health. Justice reinvestment for our community is about achieving our definition of justice and preventing contact with all systems and structures that cause harm (including the criminal justice system)," MMEIC said.

The funding comes as part of the Commonwealth Government's $109 million First Nations justice package - including a $79 million commitment to support up to 30 community-led JR initiatives in First Nations communities across Australia.

In April, then Minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney, said JR was about putting First Nations communities front and centre when it comes to preventing contact with the justice system.

"Communities can work together with local police, organisations, education and health services and local government to drive local solutions," Ms Burney said, arguing the initiatives will deliver "place-based projects to improve lives, support safer communities and help to close the gap".

The funding will allow MMEIC to consolidate the outcomes already being achieved in the region through the efforts of a volunteer working group.

"It will allow us to elevate our work with community to design durable and sustainable justice solutions," MMEIC said.

"The significant investment made possible by this grant will support our community to self-determine long-term justice solutions that are grounded in our worldview as the First Nations people of Minjerribah/Terrangeri (North Stradbroke Island) and Moorgumpin (Moreton Island).

"This work sits alongside the justice reinvestment work taking place in other communities across Queensland and more widely across Australia."

MMEIC said the meeting will work to advance collaboration agreements with their partners as a first step to advancing a JR strategy.

They have set up a team of six locally-based Quandamooka JR workers to help progress the community-led JR reinvestment in the community.

"These priorities will ensure continued delivery of culturally-modelled social and emotional wellbeing supports for our young people and their families, and develop a justice reinvestment strategy for the Quandamooka region and a regional justice reinvestment approach," MMEIC said.

The launch will take place on Friday 16 August.
