About Us

Short mission statement

Women’s Legal draws on what we’ve learned from working with more than one hundred thousand women, and on our feminist understanding of how social issues and the law intersect. This helps us decide where we can make the biggest difference and where change is needed at a structural and systemic level.

Everything we do is build on four decades of working with women

Australia’s first legal service for women opened in 1982, and we have been taking calls ever since. That casework is where our advocacy comes from, whether we are appearing before a parliamentary inquiry or writing a plain-English guide for a woman who cannot afford a lawyer.

Board and Management

Women’s Legal Service NSW is a community legal centre. We are a for-purpose, independent, not-for-profit organisation. Our Board of nine women directors and our dedicated team are united in our commitment to women’s safety, rights and economic security.

We receive funding from the Commonwealth and NSW Governments, but we remain fully independent. Our work is shaped by our mission and by the voices and experiences of women across NSW.
