Legal Aid Private Practitioners Census 2024 - Report launch

National Legal Aid is pleased to launch the report from their 2024 Legal Aid Private Practitioners Census. This project was designed and delivered by the University of New South Wales Social Policy Research Centre. It is the first of its kind in Australia and the second ever globally.

Legal aid services are essential for the fair, equal and efficient functioning of the justice system. Many of these services are delivered by private lawyers. More than 1000 private lawyers shared their experience delivering legal aid, giving us insights into who is delivering legal aid, who is accessing it, where there are shortfalls in service delivery and what needs to be done to maintain access to justice via legal aid services.

Speakers:

The report will be launched by Attorney-General Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP. Natasha Cortis, Associate Professor and author of the report, will give an overview of the findings on the day. The launch will also include some reflections from NSW Attorney-General Hon Michael Daley.
