Fact sheet

Engaging ethically with people eligible for statutory redress

A reminder for lawyers who may be approached by a business engaging in ‘claim farming’, an exploitative practice that preys on individuals in vulnerable situations who are seeking redress.

Access to justice impact report

Equitable access to justice is fundamental to the rule of law, the cornerstone of our democracy. But for many people with legal problems, just resolution may be difficult to achieve, or out of reach entirely.  

VLSB+C is committed to increasing access to justice for Victorians through our work as a regulator, a funder and an investor of public monies held in the Public Purpose Fund (PPF).   

Our first Access to justice impact report shines a light on how our work, and the work we fund, increases access to justice for Victorians.

We are a regulator

As a regulator, VLSB+C supports a functional justice system in Victoria through effective regulation of the legal profession.  

In 2022–24, we:

  • answered nearly 15,000 consumer enquiries
  • progressed more than 3,000 enquiries to complaints
  • resolved more than 600 complaints through mediation

  • awarded 43 Fidelity Fund claims, totaling close to $7 million.

We are a funder

As a funder, we support organisations and projects that increase access to justice in Victoria.

In 2022–24, the Board provided:

  • $141.9m to 13 funded organisations
  • $25m in grants to 68 projects
  • $7m of Strong Foundations Funding to 8 inaugural recipients – building the capability of organisations that make our justice system fairer and more accessible to everyone.

We are an investor

As an investor, the Board supports access to justice in the way it invests public monies held in the PPF.

You can download a 2-page snapshot, 4-page report summary, and the full report below to find out more about the work we do, the work we fund, and what’s next, as we work to increase access to justice for all Victorians.
