CALD Projects

In 2004 the Legal Services Commission identified a gap in legal education for new and emerging migrant communities. With funding from the Law Foundation of South Australia, the LSC developed a new Family Law and CALD Communities project to work with migrant communities on family law issues. The CALD project has taught us much about how CALD communities perceive and approach family law and identified barriers to new migrants accessing and understanding the Australian family law system.

Legal Education Awareness Project (LEAP)
In June 2007 the Commission received crime prevention funding to undertake a new project focussing on African young people and the law.
