Capturing the work of community legal assistance
The Federation of Community Legal Centres Victoria Inc. engaged the Victoria Law Foundation to conduct research to answer the following questions:
- Who works in the sector?
- What is it like working in community legal centres?
- How could the work of community legal centres be strengthened?
- What would enhance the work of the community legal sector as a whole?
Employees, volunteers, students, board members, CEOs and centre managers were invited to participate by completing an online survey.
A series of reports provide an overview of workplace issues. All five reports are now available.
