Community Legal Centres Australia
@clcs.org.au
Community legal centres are independent, not-for-profit, community-based organisations that provide a range of services to everyday people, including people experiencing discrimination and disadvantage. We assist communities across Australia. Each year Centres help hundreds of thousands of people through providing a range of services for individual people as well as more broadly for the community. Centres provide a range of legal services as well as undertaking early intervention and preventative strategies such as community legal education and community development and individual skill building. Community legal centres also play a key role in community engagement, advocacy and law and policy reform. More broadly, Centres work to develop and facilitate partnerships between legal assistance providers and legal and non-legal services (for example, domestic violence organisations, community health organisations, housing services and drug and alcohol services). This allows the Centres to provide holistic help to people and is designed to avoid escalation of legal problems. Centres provide services in offices, communities and health care settings across Australia. Centres also work together in National Networks to share information and good practice and undertake policy and advocacy work. Community Legal Centres Australia's members are the eight state and territory community legal centres associations. Together, we represent nearly 180 community legal centres across Australia. Only some associations have a funded Secretariat with dedicated offices and staff (NSW, VIC, QLD and WA).

About Community Legal Centres Australia
Community Legal Centres Australia is the national representative voice for the community legal sector. As an independent, non-profit organization, our aim is to support the community legal sector in providing high-quality, free, and accessible legal and related services to everyday people. We especially focus on assisting those who experience financial hardship, discrimination, disadvantage, domestic or family violence.
Our mission is to be leaders in good practice, advocate for justice and the promotion of human rights, be responsive to the needs of the community legal sector, and strengthen collaborative networks. We have 154 member organizations, including community legal centers, women’s legal services, Family Violence Prevention Legal Services, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services operating across the entire country. Our goal is to create a fair and equitable society where everyone has access to justice, lives free from discrimination and violence, and where the rights of First Nations people and the environment are respected and protected.
We rely on the experiences and stories of the 200,000 people we serve annually to drive our advocacy and progressive system reform
