A New National Legal Aid Policy


A New National Legal Aid Policy (PDF, 1MB)

National Legal Aid, the peak legal aid organisation, has issued a future policy document which has been sent to all political parties in the lead-up to the election.

The New National Policy identifies six priority areas of need which need to be addressed in order to ensure that all disadvantaged Australians are able to have recourse to the law for the preservation and enforcement of their legal rights:

1. Supporting Australian families and protecting vulnerable family members
2. Supporting Australians at risk of social exclusion due to poverty
3. Supporting Indigenous Australians at risk of social exclusion
4. Supporting Australians at risk of social exclusion due to special circumstances
5. Supporting a fair criminal justice system
6. Supporting human rights and equal opportunity
