Marcia brings incredible expertise as a lawyer and judge, as well as a thinker and academic. She has thought deeply about the impact of the law and about the systemic changes need to improve outcomes for the community. Through her work, she has made systems-level changes that improve the lives of many.
Crucial to our own work, Marcia is a tireless advocate for women. Her work has impacted the lives of many Australian women, and continues to do so at Justice Connect.
The Justice Connect Board is made up of volunteers. Each board member contributes a wide range of commercial and philanthropic expertise, as well as a commitment to social justice.
The key to our impact is the passionate commitment of our people. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, driven by a desire to deliver real improvements in the lives of the people and communities we help.
