We exist so
rights are known
and acted upon,
and communities
are fairer.

Welcome to the 2025 ARC Justice Impact Report

Measuring our impact,
deepening our focus

Our 2025 Impact Report shows ARC Justice’s growing reach and deeper understanding of what drives real change in rural and regional Victoria.

This year, we helped 7196 people,

delivered 9245 services

and were part of 770 community activities

- with 71% of our clients women.

Now in its second year, our impact framework is helping us measure what matters, guide decisions and stay accountable to the communities we serve.

Acknowledgement of traditional ownership

ARC Justice acknowledges that First Nations people are the traditional and ongoing custodians of the lands we work on. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and honour the strength, resilience and deep cultural connection Aboriginal Peoples have to Country.

We recognise that Aboriginal sovereignty was never ceded and that the impacts of colonisation continue today. We are committed to learning from and working with Aboriginal communities to support justice, equality and self-determination. We know we won’t always get it right, but we are listening, learning and open to feedback.
