ABOUT SRWA

Social Reinvestment WA (SRWA) is a member-based peak not for profit organisation, led by an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander majority Board. We work for systemic reform of the justice systems and aim to end the over-criminalisation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Western Australia’s justice and legal systems; and to create a fair, humane, and more truly just Western Australia for all people. We seek to create safer communities, support healthier families, and implement smarter justice approaches through:

• Advocacy, communications, and education.
• Community capacity building and development.
• Creation of collaboration and consensus building mechanisms.
• Development of evidence-based policy, research, and smart solutions.
• Building and maintaining a strong movement for effective change.

Our team is close-knit, dynamic, supportive, and values driven. We offer flexible working conditions, with opportunities for development and new experiences in a team-work oriented environment. We are a diverse workplace, which strives to be culturally safe and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.
