Working in Community Legal Centres in Victoria: Building and maintaining a sustainable workforce
Building and sustaining the community legal centre workforce.
The Federation of Community Legal Centres Victoria Inc. engaged Victoria Law Foundation to conduct a survey of the community legal assistance sector workforce with the aim of capturing issues, experiences and views of their workforce across diverse roles, centres, and geography.
This report explores why people come to work at community legal centres, their experiences and career path, their longer-term aspirations and why people leave, and where they are going. The findings shed light on issues and factors affecting workforce sustainability. It provides important evidence to inform initiatives to build and maintain centre sustainability.
