Next Up: Health Justice Partnerships
“Over one-fifth of people in Australia experience three or more legal problems in a given year. People often report multiple legal problems, and these problems tend to cluster – such as family breakdown and money issues or problems centred around poor-quality housing.
One in five of the most disadvantaged in our community take no action in response to their legal problems, for reasons including not recognising the issue as a legal problem, stress, time, cost, fear of damaging relationships and having bigger problems to deal with. When people do seek advice, they are more likely to ask a non-legal advisor, such as a health professional, than a lawyer.”
Health Justice Australia, formed in 2016, supports the practitioner-led movement of health justice partnership; transforming the way we approach complex health and social issues. Learn how innovative collaborations between health, legal, and social services are breaking down barriers and improving outcomes for people.
With 129 health justice partnerships now operating across Australia, this webinar offers a unique opportunity to understand their impact and explore how you can be part of this transformative approach to holistic care.
