Talking Justice comes to Bendigo

Talking Justice 2026 is coming to The Capital in Bendigo on Saturday 21 March, bringing a national conversation about justice, power and accountability to regional Victoria. The evening will feature Australian human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson, followed by a live conversation and audience Q&A with journalist Karen Percy.

The event will connect global legal battles to the realities of women’s safety and access to justice in regional Victoria, asking what accountability looks like outside capital cities and why it matters locally. Presented by ARC Justice, a rights-based, for-purpose organisation incorporating community legal centres in Bendigo and Shepparton.
