Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre

Our Vision

The Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre provides access to quality legal information, advice, advocacy and education in order to achieve social justice for all including animal and environmental protection.

Aims

  • To advocate for social justice, particularly for people who are socially or economically disadvantaged, and whose inability to access the legal system further aggravates or perpetuates their disadvantage.
  • To provide and promote accessible legal services including advice, advocacy, client support, community legal education and to investigate and recommend law reform for the residents of the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales.
  • To recognise and to promote the self-determination of Indigenous Australian peoples, their rights to their lands and all aspects of their culture, and their right to justice.
