Aboriginal Legal Assistance

MLC is committed to providing culturally appropriate services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in our region.

We run a legal outreach service at Tharawal Aboriginal Corporation in Airds (alternate Thursdays), where clients can see a solicitor for free legal advice and assistance.

We are also committed to:

1. Welcoming Aboriginal clients who drop-in for support and assistance.
2. Attending relevant Aboriginal inter-agencies and consultations in the Macarthur region.
3. Liaising with local Aboriginal organisations/workers for better working relationships.
4. Establishing reliable networks of specialist workers for warm referral purposes.
5. Actively participating in local community events (for example: NAIDOC, Sorry Day, Reconciliation Week).
6. Providing information, support and referral for Aboriginal clients as appropriate.
7. Ensuring workers across the centre undertake cultural training on a regular basis.
