Rights, Responsibilities & the Justice System (CSP-NMF-074)

Every Australian has rights — and responsibilities. Understanding both is not just relevant to people studying law. It matters to every person who rents a property, signs an employment contract, makes a consumer purchase, or interacts with the justice system in any capacity. Across 3 modules, you will explore individual rights and responsibilities under Australian law, how the criminal justice system works from arrest through to sentencing, and how everyday legal issues — tenancy, employment, consumer law, and family law — are handled in the Australian legal context. This course is designed for young Australians who want to be legally literate, people working in justice or community services, and anyone studying law, social work, or policing who wants a clear foundational understanding of rights and the legal system.
