The Foundation is an independent statutory body working to improve access to justice in NSW, particularly for socially and economically disadvantaged people.

We do this by

• identifying their needs through the independent research of our Access to Justice and Legal Need program and discrete projects carried out in partner research with universities
• supporting community and other organisations to produce a wide range of access to justice initiatives (i.e. information booklets, DVDs, workshops, research) through financial and other support from our Grants program
• promoting the use of Plain English to produce understandable legal information
• producing a range of publications which helps to promote access to justice activity
• acknowledging the outstanding work of people working to improve access to justice by managing the annual Justice Awards
• supporting legal system reforms and new justice initiatives by contributing our research findings to policy development.

We cannot provide legal research assistance, legal advice or referral to individual enquirers. For legal assistance please contact LawAccess NSW 1300 888 529
