The Costs Support program provides free, confidential and voluntary help for lawyers and law practices to improve how they explain costs to clients and comply with their obligations under the Uniform Law.
Many complaints we receive about lawyers are about costs. But many of these complaints can be avoided if costs are clearly explained to the client. Time invested in proper cost disclosure fosters a healthier client relationship and avoids time spent resolving costs disputes.

The 2026 Strong Foundations grant round is now open.
Strong Foundations grants offer flexible and stable funding over 3 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.
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
