Our community engagement and education work helps people understand their rights.

Legal knowledge is a powerful tool. Our community engagement and education work helps people understand their rights and navigate legal systems with confidence. We deliver workshops, information sessions and tailored programs across schools, community organisations and service providers. 

Our approach is collaborative and responsive. It’s designed to meet people where they are, and reflect the needs of our diverse community. 

Book a community legal education session

Our community legal education sessions are practical, engaging and tailored to the needs of your audience. Whether you’re looking for information on family violence, employment rights, discrimination, tenancy issues or another area of law, we can work with you to develop a session that meets your community’s needs. We can provide interpreters, too.
