Youth Koori Court

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Youth Koori Court was originally a pilot program established in Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia in 2015. It is a customary law court, as part of the NSW court system, that looked specifically at Indigenous youth crimes. After its initial successful pilot phase, it was granted funding to make it permanent. The Court was noted as achieving some success, with its funding extended in 2018 for another three years.[1]

In 2018 the court was expanded, opening up another court in Surry Hills for Indigenous youth in the centre of the city.[2][3]
