About us: The Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice

The Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice is a social and environmental justice organisation that aims to deepen democracy in Australia by engaging the community and creating debate. We work in a global context towards the goal of communities being in control of their own destinies by addressing the power imbalances in society. We try to raise new ideas and approaches and show that there are highly democratic solutions that can we can build a just society on.

Democracy and Justice are two inseparable ideas. For a truly Democratic society to exist it needs to be a Just society so that all members of the population have equal access to information and the nodes of power within that society. Conversely, a truly Just society must be deeply Democratic, with a population that is engaged and the people take an active interest in their community and feel empowered enough to change the community they live in.

The Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice recognises the relationship between democracy and justice and actively seeks to address the relative imbalances in the global community and work towards a truly Just and Democratic society through an engagement, mobilisation and interaction with the community.
