NEW DEAL: New money for legal assistance
South Australian legal assistance services will receive over $2 million per annum in additional core funding from July this year through a new partnership between the Commonwealth and State and Territory Governments.
Attorney-General, Vickie Chapman said South Australia had signed on to the new National Legal Assistance Partnership, guaranteeing nearly $150 million in total to legal services across the State over the coming five years.
“This agreement covers supports for some of our most vulnerable citizens – victims of domestic violence, families in need of legal assistance, and communities which may not otherwise have access to quality, accessible legal advice,” Attorney-General Chapman said.
