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.
