Strong Foundations grants offer flexible and stable funding over 4 to 5 years to eligible community legal centres in Victoria.
This funding stream gives organisations more freedom to decide where and how resources are allocated, helping them to build capacity and achieve their strategic objectives.
By supporting organisations with a proven track record, and harnessing their expertise, ambition and leadership, our goal is to bring about positive systemic change that improves access to justice for all Victorians.
Our Change grants provide funding for individual projects that aim to address issues or gaps limiting people's access to justice.
These grants are an effective way for not-for-profit organisations to implement strategic initiatives that help Victorians prevent or resolve legal problems.
We award Change grants annually and tailor funding to suit the needs of individual projects. This sees us offer grants of up to three years, where appropriate

We have the power to amend, suspend or cancel practising certificates. Each of the following is a ground for amending, suspending or cancelling your practising certificate:
VLSB+C Statement in support of the Victorian Treaty-making process
Most newly admitted lawyers are subject to a supervised legal practice (SLP) condition on their practicing certificate. This means that they must have their legal work supervised by an eligible supervisor for the first 18-24 months of legal practice.
Your supervised legal practice (SLP) period is an opportunity for you to develop practical legal and professional skills and ethical judgement, under the skilled mentorship of a more experienced lawyer and form good habits for a successful legal career.
You can make the most of this period by actively pursuing opportunities for professional development and mentorship.
This page provides information about the regulatory requirements of SLP and directs you to helpful resources to support you during SLP.
You will first need to know whether your supervised legal practice period is either 18 months or two years, depending on how you qualified for admission.
