Community Partnership
Australian Criminal Law Group prides itself on being part of the communities it serves. We appreciate the people from those communities who shape our lives, share our ideals, and stand with us through hard times. We will never forget where we came from.
Joseph Correy
Joseph Correy, who grew up in and still resides at Redfern, heads Australian Criminal Law Group’s Community Partnership.
In the past 12 months (as of 28 September 2024), the Community Partnership has provided pro bono legal services to 30 clients from or connected to Redfern and Waterloo.
Our representation of First Nations clients does not stereotype. We focus on our clients’ personalities and individual circumstances. We also communicate to the court the strength and beauty of Indigenous culture, traditions, and kinship while recognising the devastating effects of intergenerational trauma and the ongoing harm it causes.
The Community Partnership initiative works with the Redfern/Waterloo and the wider First Nations community to provide youth with cultural, educational, and sporting opportunities.
In February 2024, the Community Partnership joined the First Nations Warriors to take 30 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teenagers to Thailand for the Bangkok International Rugby 10’s Tournament. Joseph Correy travelled with First Nations elders and leaders to mentor the teenagers on their journey. The First Nations Warriors will return to Thailand in February 2025, with the Australian Criminal Law Group as their major sponsor.
Australian Criminal Law Group sponsors the Redfern All Blacks rugby league team and supports other communities based in Redfern and Waterloo.
