**Do you work at a community legal centre? Sign up to Off the Record and join a Network or Working Group.**

About Off the Record. Every fortnight we produce a newsletter, Off the Record, and send it to everyone who works at community legal centres across the state. Off the Record features stories from our sector, key updates, job listings, First Nations justice updates, and invites to events.

About Networks and Working Groups. Community legal centre networks meet at each Quarterly event to coordinate advocacy, share tips and experiences, provide peer support in complex areas, hear from guest presenters on relevant issues, and develop joint strategies for improving clients' experiences of the justice system. Please note, these groups are only open for people who work or volunteer at community legal centres.
