This DVD assists people to access advocacy and legal assistance from the Darwin Community Legal Service. It provides a pragmatic explanation aimed at Indigenous people and demystifies the process for gaining assistance.

This DVD has proven popular with our remote clients and we hope to make it available in other Indigenous languages in the future. DCLS would welcome partnerships with other organisations to make this happen.

Based on the Victoria Legal Aid/Youthlaw booklet Am I Old Enough?, this quiz is a good icebreaker to convey the range of ways the law impacts young people's lives. In most cases it has been conducted as a 'call out' activity in a big group, with chocolates given for correct answers and discussion in between. It could also be run as a 'game show' or produced as a handout.

The Illawarra Legal Centre collaborated with Wollongong TAFE students to host a lunch with a difference to mark anti-poverty week. A few students were pleasantly surprised when they were seated at the "banquet" table. However, many only received a small bowl of rice and had to look on! Everyone gained some insight into world poverty.

The project developed a community legal education kit for Australian communities affected by the anti-terror laws.

The kit focuses on aspects of the laws relevant to the everyday activities of domestic communities. In particular, it is intended to build the community members' knowledge of their legal rights and responsibilities in relation to ASIO and the Australian Federal Police.

The kit uses a train-the-trainer model, allowing for the delivery of legal education by recognised and trusted community leaders.

Designed for use by service providers and educators, this is a kit with activities, plain English handouts, resources, background information and facilitators notes including structured sample session outlines. The kit was developed as part of the CALD communities project after consultation and collaboration with community members, leaders and service providers.

The EDO is undertaking a number of activities to ensure climate change laws are effective in tackling climate change and will not lead to negative environmental outcomes.

The main laws are the Carbon Farming Initiative legislation, Victorian Climate Change Act and proposed Federal carbon price.

Activities include assisting the community and peak environment groups to understand the proposed laws so that they can effectively engage with government on their development, making law reform submissions to government and holding public education forums.
