Meet the Team
Restorative Justice Victoria (RJV) is run by a dedicated, highly-trained team of professionals to ensure we provide our clients with the most productive, meaningful, and healing experience possible. Thanks to the hard work of people in our organization, RJV has become a national leader in the delivery of restorative justice programming, and is at the forefront of research, education, and training methodologies.
Volunteers
We have a group of dedicated and highly trained volunteers filling many roles in our organization. All of our facilitators and mentors have been extensively trained, engage in continuous development, and complete regular police information checks. Many of them have relevant professional backgrounds, including counselling, dispute resolution, law, social work, and family coordination. To read more about our volunteer roles, click here.
Board of Directors
The important job of oversight of RJV is in the hands of our accomplished and dedicated Board of Directors who not only ensure all our policies are followed and required funding is available, they also step in and lend a hand as volunteers whenever asked to do so.

RJ
Victoria
"RJ showed me the scope of harm that resulted from my actions. I hadn’t realized just how many people can be affected by a single moment, by a single action of mine. In realizing this, I don’t think I would have been able to come to terms with the harm I caused without the supportive volunteers and RJ’s process and agreement terms."
