Event description

Join Attorney General Mark Speakman and Community Legal Centres NSW at this parliamentary launch of Change takes community: Action for a fairer future.

Change takes community presents the community legal sector’s holistic vision for justice, a comprehensive set of legislative and policy reforms will 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.

Change takes community draws upon the community legal centre sector’s extensive experience delivering 185,000 frontline legal services to over 54,000 people across New South Wales every year. As services at the coalface, community legal centres are uniquely placed to identify structural and systemic issues and develop meaningful solutions to these barriers to justice.

Hear from frontline workers and legal experts, learn about the complexities and challenges faced by communities experiencing disadvantage across New South Wales, and be inspired by the solutions that will set us on the path to a more-just future.
