Transform access to civil justice in Aotearoa.
Join a growing national network committed to improving access to civil justice through collaboration, insight, and action.
The National Civil Justice Observatory exists to strengthen and support efforts to improve access to civil justice across Aotearoa New Zealand. We connect people, share evidence, and enable collective action toward systemic change.
The NCJO was established as a key initiative of the Wayfinding for Civil Justice Strategy, developed following a series of hui and extensive engagement across the sector. The strategy reflects a shared commitment to improving access to civil justice in Aotearoa and identified the need for national coordination, shared insight, and collective action—efforts now being led by the NCJO.
Our network brings together a broad range of voices from across the civil justice system including practitioners, judges, community legal services, policymakers, and researchers.
