About the Department of Communities and Justice From 1 July 2019, the Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) and Department of Justice will be a single department, named the Department of Communities and Justice. The new department will enable services to better work together to support everyone’s right to access justice and other help for families, and promote early intervention and inclusion, with benefits for the whole community. The Department of Communities and Justice will be the lead agency in the new Stronger Communities Cluster. The new Stronger Communities Cluster brings together, and replaces, the Family and Communities and Justice Clusters. It brings all government services targeted at achieving safe, just, inclusive and resilient communities under one roof.
