Murri Court

Murri Court links Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander defendants to cultural and support services to help them make changes in their lives and stop offending.

Elders or Respected Persons from the community are in the courtroom to guide and encourage defendants, and help magistrates understand more about defendants’ personal and cultural circumstances.

Murri Court is less formal than mainstream court but it’s not a soft option. Defendants are expected to work hard to make better choices.
