Law reform
Community legal centres have been working for more than 30 years to advance human rights and social justice. The Federation leads and supports CLC law reform and policy work initiates and resources law reform and policy work to develop a fairer legal system that better responds to the needs of the disadvantaged.
CLCs collaborate on law reform initiatives through Federation working groups. The Federation often also works in partnership with other organisations on particular projects.
Policy positions
The Federation’s Justice Policy document provides a broad overview of our vision for how the legal system should be improved. The policy platform in the document has been endorsed by our member community legal centres at members’ meetings. It is a dynamic document which changes as member centres adopt and develop new positions.

Disability action plan
The objectives of the FCLC DAP are to promote organisational change in order to comply with the objectives of laws and policies that improve the human rights of people who have a disability. These broad objectives are: To eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability; to ensure that people with disabilities have a right to equal treatment before the law; to promote community understanding so that people with disabilities have the same fundamental rights as the rest of the community. To encourage and inspire CLCs to develop centre-based DAPs that lead to a positive change in CLC practice – expanding on existing strengths of CLCs as role models of social justice and human rights.
