Our Strategy 2025–2029
Te Tāhū o te Ture – Ministry of Justice Strategy 2025-2029 ensures that the Ministry’s resources and investments are directed where they will make the greatest difference for New Zealanders.
Our Strategy’s purpose statement guides what we do every day – To strengthen people’s trust in the law.
At the core of our purpose:
- Strengthen: Our justice system is strong by international standards, and we want to strengthen the trust and confidence that people have in the justice system that enables them to live their lives and do the things that are important to them.
- Trust: Everything comes down to people in Aotearoa New Zealand having trust that their rights are protected, that constitutional institutions and dispute resolution systems are strong and effective and that they will be treated fairly when needed.
- The law: Strategically approaching and exercising the important role we play in supporting the rule of law in New Zealand; the rule of law at its breadth, among other things, ensures people know that the law is clear, is predictable, and is there to encourage full participation in New Zealand’s economic, social and cultural life.
Our Strategy includes three enduring outcomes for justice in Aotearoa New Zealand. This ensures the Ministry focuses not just on what we do, but on the impact we create. Our six priority goals contribute to these outcomes and sharpen our focus on the things that matter the most.
Our values underpin everything we do – the actions we take, the decisions we make and the relationships we build.
