History

For 50+ years, Community Legal Centres have been at the heart of a powerful movement for social change, reshaping how people access justice, creating stronger more equitable laws, and more accountable government and democracy.

Westside Community Lawyers Incorporated (ABN 58 010 430 612) was established in 1979 with funding from the Legal Services Commission of South Australia and incorporated in 1980. We continue our work thanks to funding received from the South Australian and Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Departments.
