Restorative Justice

The ACT has one of Australia's most developed restorative justice programs, offering an alternative to traditional court proceedings for eligible offenders. Restorative justice can result in charges being withdrawn, reduced penalties, and outcomes that address the harm caused while avoiding a criminal conviction. Andrew Byrnes Law Group advises clients in Canberra on eligibility for restorative justice and advocates for referral at every stage of the criminal process.
