Justice Action is a community based social justice non-profit organisation which provides opportunities for interns to work directly alongside prisoners, academics, victims of crime, ex-prisoners, lawyers, and general community members. Internships with Justice Action are flexible and volunteer-based, tailored to suit the commitments of the intern.
Internships provide an opportunity for students to increase their awareness of criminal justice and mental health issues, as well as develop their research, writing and communication skills.

Interns will engage in policy work, preparing tribunal and court cases, contributing to media releases and writing correspondence for lobbying purposes. In their work, interns have the opportunity to interact with politicians, other NGOs, government departments and the media. They are involved at all stages in strategic decisions, often in high profile and sensitive cases.
