The Department of Justice contributes to a safe, fair and just Tasmania.

We do this by providing services and systems that promote and maintain people’s rights and responsibilities and by resolving disputes for the benefit of the Tasmanian community. The purpose of our work is to:

  • ensure an effective, efficient and accessible justice system
  • protect and respect rights
  • improve laws
  • influence positive behaviour and enforce responsibilities.

We are committed to building a supportive, engaged, inclusive and diverse workforce that works together to create change in the Tasmanian community.
