Community Legal Education

Through Community Legal Education, Women’s Legal Services NSW informs women about the legal system and their legal rights.

• Sexual assault
• Family law
• Counsellors’ records and subpoenas
• Victim's compensation

• Women and the law
• Cyber bullying

We have provided workshops to groups including:

• Women’s groups

As part of its Community Legal Education work, Women’s Legal Services NSW produces publications and resources.
