In this media release National Legal Aid is calling on the Australian Government to use the Second Action Plan under the National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children to guarantee timely legal assistance for victim-survivors and children when they need it most.
In this media release, National Legal Aid expresses deep concern about potential cuts to legal assistance for victim-survivors of domestic and family violence in the upcoming Federal Budget.
National Legal Aid welcomes the Federal Government announcement that it will wipe almost half of Australia’s social security debt backlog and deliver a $300 million investment to promote a fairer social security system for disadvantaged Australians.
Last week National Legal Aid were proud to launch our 5-year strategic plan: Towards 2030! To commemorate the launch, we hosted an online forum which provided an overview of NLA’s strategic priorities and our plan to implement them.
