UnitingJustice Australia advocates nationally on significant national and international issues of justice, peace and environmental sustainability.

Our work has included advocating for: justice for refugees and asylum seekers; positive action to address climate change; peaceful solutions to terrorism and international conflict; international trade and industrial relations policies which support the most vulnerable people; active citizenship; and an end to violence, racism, discrimination and the abuse of human rights.
