NLA's Private Practitioners' Census Report Launch

You're invited to the launch of NLA's Private Practitioners' Census Report!

National Legal Aid is pleased to launch the report from our 2024 Legal Aid Private Practitioners’ Census. This project was designed and delivered by the University of New South Wales' Social Policy Research Centre (UNSW SPRC). It is the first of its kind in Australia and the second ever globally.

The report will be launched via video by the Attorney-General Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP. Natasha Cortis, Associate Professor and co-author of the report, will give an overview of the findings on the day. The launch will also include some reflections from the NSW Attorney-General Hon Michael Daley via a representative. 

Legal Aid services are essential for the fair, equal, and efficient functioning of the justice system. Many of these services are delivered by private lawyers. Over 1000 private lawyers shared their experience delivering legal aid, giving us insights into who is delivering legal aid, who is accessing it, where there are shortfalls in service delivery, and what needs to be done to maintain access to justice via Legal Aid services.

We hope that you will join us in celebrating the launch of this very important report and hear about what is needed to maintain a thriving legal aid system where justice is accessible for all.

Respect@Work Discrimination Funding

Confirmation of Funding for Respect@Work Legal Services is a Major Step Forward for Victim-Survivors of Workplace Sexual Harassment and Discrimination

New Federal funding under the National Access to Justice Partnership will deliver ongoing funding for 31 frontline legal services that provide advice, representation, and support to victim-survivors of workplace sexual harassment and discrimination. This will mean greater certainty around the longevity of these essential services.
