WHAT IS COMMUNITY EDUCATION?
Educating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women is an important part of our work. There is less access to reliable information for people living in regional, rural, remote and very remote (4Rs) areas. We tap into our networks and community connections to share our knowledge of human rights and issues that impact our 4Rs indigenous communities.
We aim to improve access to and the ability to participate in the justice system
We aim to prevent legal matters from escalating through education and understanding rights
We respond to local community needs by requests for education sessions
Prevention is an important approach to our education sessions
WHAT IS THE THEME OF OUR SESSIONS?
Across all areas of our service delivery we see common themes within systems, within families and relevant social justice issues. Our education aims to prevent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women from engaging with the legal system without support. Our team’s combined skills and expertise means we can provide a broad range of sessions to suit the audiences’ needs. Our education can take different forms including resources, webinars, workshops and more.

WHAT IS COMMUNITY LEGAL EDUCATION?
Community Legal Education (CLE) is not legal advice for an individual and their circumstances. We can develop custom-made sessions for community groups, stakeholders or others who may benefit from CLE. We prioritise sessions that focus on our priority areas.
