This year the team at BGCLS has continued its excellent work in providing legal and non-legal services to the residents of Western Victoria.
We were pleased to continue our work with Deakin University and Latrobe University in hosting students undertaking placements. These placements provide valuable practical experience for students, allowing them to experience a variety of different aspects of legal practice.
Our volunteer solicitor program restarted this year after being on hold during COVID. It has been wonderful to see a mix of newer and more experienced solicitors becoming involved in our service once again. Our volunteers provide an invaluable service and allow us to assist many more members of our community.
We continued our work within our various outreach locations, including providing duty lawyer services to Ararat, Stawell and Horsham Magistrates’ Courts for family violence matters. We look forward to expanding our outreach services in the coming months and beyond.
Overall BGCLS provided 2214 services to 1427 clients across our region and were able to achieve excellent outcomes across many different areas.
I look forward to another positive year for BGCLS staff, committee and continuing to provide quality services to our clients.
