Abstract:

What does 'self-determination' mean in the context of legal service provision for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services (ATSILS). The research analyses the complex factors characterising the environment in which ATSILS have survived, and continue to survive, and continue to achieve just outcomes for Indigenous people in Australia’s justice system. The research aimed to investigate whether or not the ATSILS’s model is the only model able to provide a legal service to Indigenous people. A model that accommodates their client’s unique needs through the shared experiences of their cultural understanding and historical knowledge of its people and its places. Does self-determination play a part in this model, or can a hybrid form of self-management that possibly non-Indigenous organisations could replicate? The research will also put a scope on the legal sector and look at its commitment to Indigenous people.
