The Access to Justice & Inclusion Committee focuses on human rights and access to justice, as well as inclusion and diversity issues. The committee looks both inwardly at the legal profession and outwardly at the community. The committee contributes to the Society’s advocacy work and promotes diversity and inclusion through the Society’s CPD events and publications.
You can contact the committee directly through the Law Society's Policy and Research Team on committee@actlawsociety.asn.au.
