The AIJA Research Committee, convened by Dr Brenda McGivern, meets regularly to consider proposals for future research work.

Areas of Interest

The AIJA is open to general research applications year-round. The AIJA regularly provides financial and in-kind support to research in our areas of interest. These areas of interest are:

• Indigenous justice as it relates to the administration of justice.
• Technology as it relates to the administration of justice.
• Vulnerable communities as they relate to the administration of justice.
• Paths to excellence in judicial administration.

The AIJA is particularly interested in data driven research which provides specific recommendations to further improve the administration of justice.

Those interested in applying for this support should read our Guide to Applying for AIJA Research Support. Applicants should note in particular the guidance on what elements of the research the AIJA funding may be used for and what costs will not generally be funded.

Having read the Guide, applicants should complete our Research Support Application Form which may be submitted via email to aija@aija.org.au.
