  • People Are Missing out on the Legal Help They Need
    Community Law Australia—Fund Equal Justice Community Legal Centres Campaign People Are Missing Out On The Information for Members and Senators Legal 2016Help They Need Community Legal Centres Briefing There is a crisis in legal assistanceFebruary 2016 • There is significant and rising demand for legal assistance in Australia. • Hundreds of thousands of people are missing out on the legal help they need. In 2014-2015, over 160,000 of Australia’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable people had to be turned away by community legal centres, largely due to a lack of resources. • Unresolved legal problems generate a range of flow-on effects, including significant costs to the government and broader community. Access to legal help can prevent or reduce the escalation of legal problems and reduce costs to the justice system and other areas such as health and housing. What are community legal centres and how do they help? • Community legal centres (CLCs) are not-for-profit community-based legal services that provide free and accessible legal and related services. • CLCs help our most vulnerable people: CLCs help people who can’t afford a lawyer and aren’t eligible for government legal aid, including some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the community. For example, almost 50% of CLC clients are in receipt of a Government benefit, 25.4% identify as having a disability, and 13.3% are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people. • CLCs specialise in everyday legal problems: CLCs help people with a wide range of legal problems, including family violence, relationship breakdowns and family law, debt, consumer problems, problems with Centrelink, tenancy disputes, and employment issues.

  • THE ROLE and LIMITATIONS of COMMUNITY LEGAL CENTRES a Resource for the Wimmera Drought Legal Support Project
    THE ROLE AND LIMITATIONS OF COMMUNITY LEGAL CENTRES A Resource for the Wimmera Drought Legal Support Project GENERAL (excerpts from Law Handbook 2017 website accessed 12/9/17) Community legal centres There are over 50 community legal centres throughout Victoria. They are staffed by salaried and volunteer lawyers and non-legal staff. Community legal centres offer free legal advice; most offer a combination of day and evening legal advice sessions. Services provided Community legal centres are a good starting point to: • obtain advice; • sort out legal problems; • determine eligibility for legal assistance; and • complete application forms for legal assistance. A number of centres also: • handle negotiations and write letters of demand; and • arrange representation in court proceedings. The range of services provided varies, as each of the centres has developed its own specific set of guidelines. Eligibility Community legal centres do not have any formal means tests. Advice is generally given to anyone who attends. Generalist centres, however, attempt to cater for people in their local community. The pressure of work often means that geographical limitations are applied, and clients are requested to contact the centre nearest their home address. The community legal centres generally take on cases where no legal assistance is available if: • the service user comes from a culturally and linguistically diverse background; • the problem is one where the centre has particular expertise (e.g. tenancy); • the area of law is generally unserviced by most lawyers (e.g. mental health law); • the problem is of relevance to a significant group (e.g. social security); or • the service user has a special relationship with the service, or would be unable to cope dealing with other professional.

The Planning Team prepared the plan for the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Brendan Dooley (Plan Coordinator) Department of Conservation and Land Management Tim Bowra Department of Conservation and Land Management Dennis Cluning City of Joondalup Phil Thompson City of Wanneroo PREFACE Regional parks are areas of regional open space that are identified by planning procedures as having outstanding conservation, landscape and recreation values. Regional parks provide the opportunity for a consortium of management agencies and private landowners to develop co-ordinated planning and management strategies. Regional parks were first proposed in the Stephenson - Hepburn Report of 1955, which later formed the basis of the Perth Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963. Since then, State planning agencies have been acquiring suitable private land in anticipation of the time when regional parks would be formally created. In 1997, the State government announced a commitment to introduce legislation to give regional parks legal standing and vesting in the former NPNCA, now the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Eight regional parks were recognised as formal identities, with the co-ordination of their management progressively transferred to the Department of Conservation and Land Management.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice process. While Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people only represent 2% of the Au stralian population, they account for 27% of those imprisoned.1 While we hope that the outcomes of this inquiry will have a significant positive impact in reducing Indigenous incarceration rates, and the interaction of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with the criminal justice system, we note the importance of involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their representative organisations in policy development and implementation. In our view, the disadvantage experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the criminal justice system is compounded by a lack culturally 1 Australian Bureau of Statistics, 4517.0-Prisoners in Australia, 2016 (8 August 2016) Australian Bureau of Statistics <http://www. abs.gov .au/a usstats/abs@. nsf/Look u p/by%20Su bject/4517 .0-2016-Mai n%20Fea tures-Aboriginal%20and%20Torres%20Strait%201sla nder%20prisoner%20characteristics-s>. sensitive services, and a lack of recognition of, and respect for, the right of self­ determination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to have input in policy development and implementation that affects them.
