Community legal centres

Community legal centres (CLCs) offer important community-based services, including free legal advice and assistance and advocacy, community legal education activities, and law reform activities. They are part of the network of 52 CLCs across Victoria.

VLA supports the CLCs through the Community Legal Centre Funding Program. Through this program we administer Commonwealth, state and our own funding to 39 Victorian community legal centres and the Secretariat of the Federation of Community Legal Centres. We are also responsible for making sure CLCs meet their service agreement requirements, such as financial reporting, strategic planning and service delivery targets.
