The Access team was created in 2016 by combining the efforts of Outreach and Education.

Our team focuses on raising awareness and facilitating the discussion of the legal issues that arise both in the justice system and in the various aspects of our everyday lives. Our work is separated into two main projects, our in-school presentations and our symposia / panel discussions.

Our presentations involve constructing informative workshops in various educational facilities, predominantly secondary schools. These presentations aim to educate students on a range of relevant legal areas, including access to law school, colonisation and equity issues, and civics.

Our panel discussions construct interesting and intellectually stimulating discourse about topical legal issues. Some past examples have included discussions on the Zero Carbon Bill, modern slavery, and the rights of transgender peoples in prisons.
