Sector Engagement – Bundaberg & Hervey Bay Region

Recently the Communications and Sector Engagement team met with a range of stakeholders across the justice, health, community and child protection sectors in the Wide Bay region. The team gained valuable insights into some of the significant justice issues impacting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities from a range of perspectives.

Engaging regularly with community and key partners on country in the regions is vital to ensuring our service delivery is aligned with varying community needs. It’s also used as an important reference when developing marketing and legal education resources as we work to produce materials that better address the nuanced issues faced by clients in our diverse communities.

Close The Gap Day – Toowoomba

Close the Gap in ToowoombaChelsea, Josie and Kevin from our Toowoomba office were out in the local community for Close The Gap Day.

The team hosted a stall at the University of Southern Queensland campus and had a great day showing support for this important cause whilst raising awareness of our broad range of services.

The ever widening justice gap faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is intrinsically linked to poor health outcomes. Promoting access to quality legal assistance and legal education resources can work to address disadvantage in vulnerable communities and can help close the gap not only in justice, but in health as well.
