VALS is committed to supporting members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community through ongoing Community Legal Education (CLE).

VALS believes that information about legal issues and services is a powerful tool that empowers our community to navigate legal issues as they arise.

A key aspect of VALS service delivery is making sure our clients feel comfortable to ask questions and understand the processes they are navigating, and in doing so our clients are able to make empowered decisions about the things that impact them. Our CLE work compliments our legal service delivery by making resources and information available to community as a starting point in navigating legal matters.

Online resources

Working alongside our legal practices, our Community Engagement team have developed a library of CLE resources and community factsheets that can be accessed through the  VALS Digital Library.

These resources aim to answer some of the main questions you may have about particular legal issues. We continue to develop and regularly publish new resources for our community. If there are particular legal themes or issues you would like our team to develop a fact sheet on, please use the contact us form below to let us know.

Our future

The Community Engagement Team is looking forward to further projects to be launched across the state. VALS endeavors to obtain more funding to help the CLE program undertake more outreach in the coming years.
