Loddon Campaspe Community Legal Centre is committed to human rights and social justice. Our casework often prompts us to tackle systemic legal disadvantage and to promote law reform. Like community legal education, law reform is a core component of community legal centre practice.
Since opening in 2005 we have addressed elder abuse, the lack of free and accessible legal services, the rights of friends and family of missing persons, and many other issues.
