The over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (Indigenous Australians) with mental disorders and cognitive disability (MHDCD) in Australian criminal justice systems (CJS) is a matter of utmost concern and importance to Government, policy makers, Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. This project brings an Indigenous informed mixed method research approach to the study of this issue. Qualitative interviews will afford new and in depth understandings from an Indigenous perspective.
