Working in Community Legal Centres in Victoria: Workforce profile
The characteristics of the Victorian 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.
The Workforce profile provides an overview of the characteristics of the Victorian community legal centre workforce. It reports on workforce demographics and diversity, legal practice and areas of law, work roles, hours worked, length of service, salaries, and working arrangements and benefits.
This report provides an overview of the workforce profile and is one of a series of reports from the Community Legal Centres Workforce Project
