About Victoria Legal Aid
Victoria Legal Aid is a cornerstone of Victoria's justice system, delivering essential legal services to the community. We provide legal advice, dispute resolution, repr esentation, information and advocacy services to hundreds of thousands of Victorians each year for criminal, civil, family violence, child protection and family law problems. We ensure people have access to legal services close to where they live, across metropolitan, suburban and regional locations.
Through non-legal, early intervention and dispute resolution services, we support people to understand their rights, participate in decision-making and resolve matters. We work closely with partners to influence policies and challenge unfair laws and practices to make our society fairer for everyone.
By coordinating legal assistance and information, resolving issues early and supporting people through court processes when necessary, we help prevent problems escalating and reduce harm. We target our efforts and limited resources to help those with the greatest need.
We deliver legal aid services to the Victorian community in partnership with private practitioners, Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and community legal centres. Our partners, alongside our staff, play a crucial role in making the justice system accessible to as many Victorians as possible across the state.
Our clients come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds and foster a work culture that's inclusive as well as diverse. Your unique ideas and perspectives are valued so that we best represent the people we serve.
