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. Liaising with local Aboriginal organisations/workers for better working relationships.
2. Establishing reliable networks of specialist workers for warm referral purposes.
3. Actively participating in local community events (for example: NAIDOC, Sorry Day, Reconciliation Week).
4. Providing information, support and referral for Aboriginal clients as appropriate.
5. Ensuring workers across the centre undertake cultural training on a regular basis.
