The crisis for community legal centres is not over yet
I'm writing as a local resident in your electorate about an issue very important to me and our community. As you may know, the community legal sector is at breaking point and already turning away a thousand people every day across the country, with over a third of this number relating to family and domestic violence. Community legal centres help hundreds of thousands of people every year to resolve everyday legal problems in areas like housing, relationships, debts and money problems, and discrimination. Recent announcements from the Federal Government are a step in the right direction, but will fall far short of what these frontline services need to keep people safe and meet community demand. Please support the call to save community legal centres and advocate with the Attorney-General, Treasurer and Finance Minister to ensure additional investment is adequate, including: 1. $35 million this year to address the workforce crisis 2. At least $270 million per year for community legal centres from 1 July 2025, committed by December 2024 3. An extra $95 million per year for frontline domestic and family violence work. With your support we can keep people safe, prevent people's problems from getting worse and provide a lifeline to local services, programs and jobs. Please let me know what you were able to do about this issue in our community.
