**Mō te tīma/About our Team**

At Te Tāhū o te Ture - the Ministry of Justice, we're committed to working together for a fair and safe Aotearoa.

Te Tari Toko i te Tumu Whakawā | The Office of the Chief Justice (Te Tari) supports the Chief Justice, President of the Court of Appeal, Chief Judge of the High Court, and other Heads of Bench in their leadership and administrative responsibilities to enable the judiciary to function as an independent branch of government.

The judiciary as an institution, and the Chief Justice and Heads of Bench as its leaders, have a unique responsibility to maintain the public's trust and confidence in the courts and the principles underpinning the justice system.

The Governance, Strategy and Advisory team supports the Chief Justice and Heads of Bench to fulfil this responsibility by providing governance support, strategic advice and high-quality analysis and advisory services in respect of operational, strategic, policy and legal issues. The team develops and delivers on work programmes arising from the committees it supports and the key priorities and requests of the Chief Justice. The team also supports the implementation of work programmes, processes and procedures, to put the Principles observed by Judiciary and Ministry in the Administration of the Courts (also known as the MOU), into practice.

Our key strands of work are (but not limited to):

- Implementing a more established and considered governance framework for the judicial arm of government.
- Providing advice, recommendations and support to the Chief Justice and Heads of Bench as leaders of the judicial branch of government, and to the wider judiciary as required
- Growing the partnership approach with the Ministry of Justice in accordance with the MOU to reflect the principles upon which the MOU is built.
- Providing analysis, quality assurance and advice to ensure operational, policy and law reform initiatives progressed by the Ministry of Justice and other agencies meet the expectations of the Judiciary.
- Reporting and analysing trends, of current events, and relevant organisational context in order to prioritise work, identify risks and engage with the Judiciary.
- Playing our part in the development of Te Tari Toko i Te Tumu Whakawā's business planning and administrative arrangements.

**Joining the Ministry of Justice means you will become part of an inclusive organisation that values you and the communities we serve. It's our promise to ensure our workplace is one where our people feel healthy and safe, supported and able to be themselves at work. We value respect as the foundation for building a positive workplace culture and one where diversity is welcomed and celebrated.**
