Sector Governance

The Justice Sector Leadership Board, made up of the chief executives of six justice agencies, provides shared direction for the sector and governance of key work programmes. As a group, the JSLB focuses on areas within the criminal justice system that they can directly govern and exercise collective decision-rights over.

The JSLB is supported by the Justice Sector Directorate, who help to co-ordinate and drive progress across key sector work programmes and areas of focus.

The Justice Sector Directorate also provides a Secretariat function for sector governance groups, whose work together ensures the achievement of collective justice sector outcomes. These groups are:

  1. Justice Sector Ministers (JSM) - The JSM is made up of the Ministers with responsibility over the six core justice sector agencies, namely the Ministers of Justice, Police and Corrections, the Minister for Courts, the Minister for Children (who is responsible for youth justice policy), the Minister responsible for the Serious Fraud Office and the Attorney-General. The Minister of Justice is the Lead Justice Sector Minister.
  2. Justice Sector Leadership Board (JSLB) – The JSLB meets to review progress on their key priority areas and discuss other issues of relevance to the sector. The Secretary for Justice is Chair of the JSLB.
  3. Justice Sector Executive Committee Operations (JSECO) – The JSECO consists of members from justice sector agencies at Deputy Chief Executives level. JSECO supports JSLB by overseeing key operational programmes that impact the justice system. The Committee’s current focus is the Victims Work Programme.
  4. Justice Sector Executive Committee Investment (JSECI) – JSECI consists of members from justice sector agencies at Deputy Chief Executives level. JSECI supports JSLB by overseeing strategy, resources and investment across the sector.
