Aboriginal Legal Assistance

Artworks (above) by children of the Dharawal people (NAIDOC colouring competition entries).

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

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 have an Aboriginal Legal Access Program (ALAP) Worker, to help us:

  1. Liaise with local Aboriginal organisations/workers for better working relationships.
  2. Establish reliable networks of specialist workers for warm referral purposes.
  3. Participate in local community events (for example: NAIDOC, Sorry Day, Reconciliation Week).
  4. Provide information, support and referral for Aboriginal clients as appropriate.
  5. Ensure MLC workers deliver services in a culturally informed way.

If you would like to contact our ALAP worker, please call our main line on (02) 4628 2042.
