Celebrating 10 Years of Pioneering Change at the Future Justice and Corrections Summit 2026!

This year marks a monumental milestone—the 10th Anniversary of the Future Justice and Corrections Summit! Join us in 2026 for an unforgettable event where we bring together the brightest minds from across Australia and New Zealand to reshape the future of corrections.
As we commemorate a decade of groundbreaking change, we’re diving into the most pressing challenges and forward-thinking solutions facing the justice system today. This is where correctional leaders, government officials, health experts, architects, social service organisations, and reform advocates come together to discuss, collaborate, and push for transformative justice.
As the landscape shifts from a punitive to a rehabilitative, recovery-focused approach, this summit will tackle how we can build a correctional system that works for everyone—reducing re-offending, providing vital support services, and fostering positive change in our communities.
Join over 100+ thought leaders for expert sessions on justice reform, innovative rehabilitation programs, community-based solutions, and cutting-edge design for correctional facilities.
Be part of the movement. This isn’t just a summit—it’s the #1 event dedicated to the future of justice and corrections in Australia and New Zealand. Register now and take your place in shaping a more just and equitable tomorrow!

2025 EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

SEE WHAT OUR PAST ATTENDEES THOUGHT

This summit was an outstanding meeting of minds. Sharing ideas and strategies to make our system better. It is absolutely vital we continue to hold these Summits

The summit was a great opportunity to meet different stakeholders in the Justice field. To be able to learn from their experiences, to see what initiatives they have introduced. This has led me to be able bring back to my organisation a number of ideas that I can implement to improve offender rehabilitation.

Great experience at this year's summit, excellent speakers and great networking opportunities. looking forward to 2026
