Papers and submissions

In RLC's view the exposure draft National Human Rights Action Plan mostly lists existing and proposed Commonwealth and Victorian programs, rather than a plan to strengthen Australian human rights protections in a systemic way.

RLC made a submission with the National Association of Community Legal Centres (NACLC) in response to the Attorney-General Department's Consolidation of Commonwealth Anti-Discrimination Laws Discussion Paper.

RLC has a priority access policy for ATSI clients. In 2010, we provided legal services to some 3000 individuals from Redfern and surrounding areas, approximately 200 of whom identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

The overarching recommendation of this submission was that the government reconsider its methodological approach to the baseline study.

Our submission argued that the standards are not meeting their aims and have not had a significant impact on access to education for students with disability.

This is the second submission of NACLC and other CLCs in relation to the consolidation of federal discrimination legislation.

This is a submission to the Australian Law Reform Commission and NSW Law Reform Commission Family Violence Inquiry by the Sydney Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service (WDVCAS).

One of our goals at RLC is to identify the inequalities in laws, the legal system, administrative practice and society as a whole that affect RLC's clients and disadvantaged people generally, and work to remove those inequalities.
