Delivering Better Outcomes for People in Custody Through Reform, Rehabilitation and Facilities
24 - 26 February, 2026 | Melbourne, Australia
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!
