The Law and Justice Foundation of NSW works to improve access to justice through applied research, alongside practical resources and data that help the sector understand and respond to everyday legal need.
Our 2024–2025 Annual Report brings together the insights, activity and evidence that shaped this work over the past year.
Highlights from 2024–2025
Building the evidence base
This year we released 10 new publications, including updated legal need indicators and new research on disaster-related legal need. These resources continue to support policy teams, legal assistance services and researchers across the state.
Helping the sector access and apply insights
Through nine webinars and video resources and participation in six sector forums, we shared emerging findings and practical guidance with practitioners and decision-makers working to improve access to justice in their communities.
Research in progress
With seven research projects underway and 139 participants contributing through surveys and interviews, we produced new insights into legal issues affecting people in NSW and the ways they’re navigated within the justice system.
How the sector used our work
Our tools and evidence remained a key resource for practitioners, planners and policymakers across the justice sector.
