Support to attend

To support attendance, Victoria Law Foundation is offering up to $5,000 for several organisations who have been accepted to present at the conference.

Selection for support will be a two-step process:

1. If you are making a submission to the conference and would like to be considered for financial support, please send a copy of your proposal to research@victorialawfoundation.org.au
2. If you are accepted into the program, get in touch at research@victorialawfoundation.org.au. We will then direct you to the selection criteria and application process for financial support.

As we have in past years, it would be great to have a strong Victorian contingent at the Forum.
