Overview
The Community Legal Education (CLE) Collaboration Fund was launched in 2011 as part of our CLE strategy.
Eligible community legal centres, Regional Legal Assistance Forums and specialist Legal Assistance Forums can apply for a grant to deliver CLE projects that help vulnerable people identify legal problems early, understand their legal rights and responsibilities and how to access legal help. Applications are assessed against strict criteria and should be collaborative, client focused and responsive to community need.
Grant recipients have delivered a range of workshops, education programs, community expos, podcasts, websites, publications, accessible educational videos and other innovative resources that help people to understand their legal rights.
