The Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner is pleased to share initial findings from a new study into lawyer wellbeing, workplace culture and ethics by researchers from Australian National University and the University of Melbourne. 

In March 2024, close to 1900 lawyers practising under the Uniform Law Scheme completed the confidential survey about their experiences of wellbeing, culture and ethics.   

Initial findings support previous research findings in lawyer wellbeing, while delivering new insights via indicators of positive workplace wellbeing for lawyers.  

A more detailed analysis of the survey data is now underway, and findings will be available in a full report in the coming months. 

We thank the lawyers who took the time to share their valuable insights for inclusion in this project. Your participation will go on to help shape evidence-based initiatives aimed at fostering a culture of wellbeing within the legal profession. 

We also extend thanks to our Uniform Law Partners in New South Wales and Western Australia.
