In October we celebrated our 40th anniversary – a milestone which gave us the opportunity to reflect on how we've grown over time as an organisation.

We've gone from five offices helping 25,000 Victorians in our first year to 15 offices helping 74,670 clients in 2020–21. We've also evolved to deliver preventative and early intervention services, non-legal advocacy and play a significant role in law reform and sector-wide improvements to increase access to justice.

Our 'Celebrating 40 years of Victoria Legal Aid' animation highlights some of our achievements over the past 40 years.
