Organisation Summary

Redfern Legal Centre (RLC) is a non-profit community legal centre that provides access to justice. Established in 1977 and inspired by the inception of the Aboriginal Legal Service in Redfern, Redfern Legal Centre was the first community legal centre in NSW and the second in Australia. We provide free legal services and education to people experiencing disadvantage. We draw on our frontline, grassroots work with the community to create positive change through policy and law reform work to address inequalities in the legal system, policies and social practices that cause disadvantage.

We provide effective and integrated free legal services that are client-focused, collaborative, non-discriminatory and responsive to changing community needs. Our specialist legal services focus on tenancy, credit, debt and consumer law, financial abuse, employment law, international students, First Nations justice, police accountability, and we provide outreach services including through our health justice partnership.
