This has been an exceptionally busy year for us all at the National Justice Project and we wish to thank our many supporters for standing alongside us and fighting the good fight.
We have achieved a great deal for our clients and communities during 2024 and we look forward to our 10th year in 2025.
We end this year with some bittersweet news. Steven Castan, our Board Chair for the last five years, will be stepping down from this role in January 2025. We would like to sincerely thank and celebrate Steven for playing a vital role as Chair of the National Justice Project and being a part of our growth, fearlessly fighting for a society where all people are treated equitably and without discrimination. Steven will continue to be a Director of the Board and assisting where he can add value.
We are pleased to announce that Distinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt OA will be appointed as our Chair, effective from 2 January 2025. Larissa is an Euahleyai/Gamillaroi woman and Laureate Fellow at the Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning at the University of Technology, Sydney. She received an Order of Australia in 2020 for distinguished service to Indigenous education and research, to the law, and to the visual and performing arts. We have been benefiting from Larissa’s knowledge and passion since she joined our Board in 2021, and we look forward to welcoming her to her new position as Chair next year.
We wish you all a safe and peaceful end to 2024 and look forward to celebrating 2025 with you in the new year.
