3/3 The NLAP review recommended that the Commonwealth increase remuneration of Community Legal Centre staff to address wage inequity between the public service. In Canberra this week, we’re speaking to MPs & Senators to raise awareness of this issue to #SaveCommunityLegalCentres

Community legal centres are at breaking point. Funding shortages and overwhelming demand are forcing them to turn away thousands of people needing legal assistance for housing, financial problems, discrimination, and family and domestic violence. savecommunitylegalcentres.com/the-crisis

❌ Community Legal Centres are at a breaking point. Funding shortages & overwhelming demand are forcing centres to turn away 1000 people daily & reduce services to communities across the country. The crisis will escalate without guaranteed funding ⛔ #SaveCommunityLegalCentres

Community legal centres help hundreds of thousands of people every year to resolve everyday legal problems in areas like housing, relationships, debts and discrimination. We need to fund them to continue this vital work! #SaveCommunityLegalCentres buff.ly/4cwxNcy

This morning I joined the team from Community Legal Centres Australia in their call for $270 million in annual funding to be able to deliver critical services to women and children dealing with domestic and family violence.

Well done to Community Legal Centres Australia on a powerful #SaveCommunityLegalCentres launch. Funding shortages and overwhelming demand are forcing centres to turn away twice as many people as they're able to help each day. This crisis will only continue to worsen until funding is secured.

#CommunityLegalCentres are facing a critical funding & workforce crisis. This is not just a looming threat—it’s happening NOW & is our reality ⚠️ This isn’t just about keeping the doors open - it’s about safeguarding lives 🆘 #FundFrontlineServices #NorthernTerritory

Every single day that this crisis goes unaddressed, we edge closer to a future where people experiencing poverty and disadvantage are left without the essential support that keeps them safe, housed and financially secure. #SaveCommunityLegalCentres #AliceSprings #TennantCreek

People trust their local community legal centre to support them early, before legal problems snowball to crisis point. ✨ Find out more and get involved in the #SaveCommunityLegalCentres campaign here: savecommunitylegalcentres.com #FundFrontlineServices #CommunityLaw

While the ASRC doesn’t receive federal funding it's essential to our CLC colleagues who do, and who provide critical services to 10,000s across the country. Community legal centres are at breaking point & need guaranteed ongoing funding by December 2024 #SaveCommunityLegalCentres

The 2024 Federal Budget failed to provide the urgent and long-term funding security the community legal sector desperately needs. With less than a year’s guaranteed funding left, legal centres are in the most uncertain position we have faced in a decade #SaveCommunityLegalCentres

160+ Community Legal Centres across Australia are at grave risk due to a failure of the Federal Government to properly fund them. They are too important to be at risk and the ASRC stands proudly with our sector calling on the Albanese Government to #SaveCommunityLegalCentres

Women’s Legal Services like CAWLS are fighting every day to save lives, but we can't do it alone. The lack of funding forces us to leave too many women behind. It’s time to invest in safety, equality & a future where NO woman is left behind 🖤 #SaveCommunityLegalCentres

CLCs are at breaking point. The crisis will only worsen until the sector secures guaranteed ongoing funding. #SaveCommunityLegalCentres #FundFrontlineServices #CommunityLaw

The Albanese Government can’t claim to be doing all it can to help women and children fleeing male violence while refusing to fully fund Community Legal Centres to respond at the coalface including an additional $95 million p.a for DV legal services. #SaveCommunityLegalCentres

This week in Canberra: Critical conversations for Community Legal Centres 🏛️ We've been meeting with NSW MPs and Senators to address the urgent funding crisis facing our centres. #SaveCommunityLegalCentres
