Integral to our policy and advocacy role is the constructive advice, guidance and direction we provide to government. This page contains the submissions NLA has made to various Commonwealth Government and Parliamentary inquiries.
National Legal Aid is urging the government to include funding for key strategic priorities in the 2026–27 budget to uphold access to justice. These include baseline funding to meet demand in the Federal Circuit and Family Court for victim-survivors of domestic and family violence, ongoing support for the NDIS Appeals Program, and preventing the Permanent Protection Visa Program and disaster response legal services from ending due to funding cliffs.
The feedback on the draft list provided by National Legal Aid (NLA) has been developed in consultation with Legal Aid Commissions across the country, who have provided invaluable insights due to their work through the national NDIS Appeals Program.
