Community Legal Centres NSW

Change takes community

Do you work at a community legal centre? Sign up to our newsletter or join a network!

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

About networks and working groups: Community legal centre networks meet quarterly 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.
