Our Vision
Is for a fair WA, where everybody has access to justice.
For more than 30 years, Community Legal WA has worked alongside organisations and communities across Western Australia to improve access to justice for people experiencing disadvantage and vulnerability.
Strategic Priorities 2026-2029
Our Strategic Plan 2026–2029 sets out our vision for the next three years as Western Australia’s independent law and justice peak body.
Developed through a comprehensive strategic review and extensive consultation with members, government partners, funders, people with lived experience, the legal profession and other stakeholders, the plan identifies how we can maximise our impact, focus our efforts and strengthen our long-term sustainability.
The Strategic Plan marks the next phase in Community Legal WA’s evolution and is guided by four strategic focus areas:
- Justice Leadership and System Voice
Providing leadership on law and justice issues and advocating for systemic reform. - Evidence, Insights and Community Voice
Strengthening the evidence base for advocacy through data, lived experience and sector insights. - Collective Capability and Collaboration
Building sector capability, fostering collaboration and harnessing collective impact. - Organisational Strength and Readiness
Ensuring Community Legal WA remains sustainable, effective and equipped for the future.
Together, these priorities will help strengthen access to justice, support meaningful reform and create lasting change for communities across Western Australia.
