Community Legal Education

SSRV's community legal education program has three main threads:

  • community speaking
  • social security advocacy courses and
  • publications

Every year SSRV speaks to a significant number of government, community and welfare organisations, media outlets and students. These include (but are not limited to): justice and social work students (University and TAFE)  lawyers training, staff from community information sites, financial counsellors, pupil welfare educational staff, workers in a range of disability, housing and other welfare groups.
