Integrated service model providing access to legal services in health settings.
•
Targets people who don't know they have legal needs; and if they do, don't

Social determinants of health is the critical underpinning of this approach:
unmet legal needs can exacerbate or contribute to poor health; and
health outcomes can be undermined by legal need.

Eastern Community Legal Centre (Melbourne) Mission Statement
Health Justice Partnerships (HJPs) offer an integrated service model providing legal services in health settings to address unmet legal needs that can impact health outcomes. With a focus on social determinants of health, HJPs target individuals unaware of their legal needs, aiming to improve overall health and justice outcomes through collaboration. Examples include Redfern Legal Centre's partnership with Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the advocacy work of the National Centre for Health Justice Partnership.
