Community Legal Centres NSW made a submission to the NSW wellbeing inquiry at the end of August. We support the development of a wellbeing framework to guide government budgeting and prioritise wellbeing in policymaking.
Community Legal Centres NSW put in a submission to the independent review of the National Legal Assistance Partnership in October 2023.
This is Community Legal Centres NSW's preliminary submission to the review of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW).
We all deserve to be safe at work and free from discrimination and sexual harassment. While sexual harassment is pervasive across all industries and all employment levels in Australia, it is not inevitable.
We believe in building a society that is fair, just, and inclusive. This is only possible if we take a collective stand against hate and discrimination.
Community Legal Centres NSW offers our full-hearted support to the Aboriginal Legal Service NSW/ACT and AbSec in calling for the NSW Government to end the over-representation of Aboriginal children in out-of-home care.
A statement of concern from the Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC), Community Legal Centres NSW, Human Rights Law Centre (HRLC), Amnesty International Australia, Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT), First People's Disability Network Australia (FPDNA) and Change the Record.
The submissions outline key concerns with the coercive control legislation, and advocate for greater consultation and a phased approach, for systemic racism in the criminal legal system to be addressed, and for greater attention to be paid to the experiences of LGBTQI+ people, First Nations women, and people with disability.
The community legal sector’s holistic vision for justice to ensure that our communities are fairer and more-inclusive places, where everyone is housed, safe, and has the support they need to thrive and participate.
Join our call to help victim-survivors of sexual violence, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, child abuse and modern slavery to access support they are entitled to and need.
Community legal centres are able to mobilise quickly, make and sustain connections, and support people in times of vulnerability, hardship, and crisis.
A fair and just immigration system means that a person’s right to feel safe, to stay with their kids and to fully participate in our community is not dependent on their visa status.
