Health Justice Partnerships: Bridging Legal and Healthcare Services

Slide Note

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.
