Care for community. Fight for justice.
Central Coast Community Legal Centre is a community-owned, community-run, not-for-profit organisation whose purpose is to stand with our Central Coast community to help them face and overcome legal challenges in their lives. We believe there can be no such thing as justice without equal access to legal advice and information for everyone—and this is our area of specialist expertise.
How We Create Change
Because...
the legal system is so complex, the process can feel overwhelmbing and traumatising, especially for those who experience disadvantage.
We respond by...
providing legal help to tackle legal issues in people's lives as early as possible...then translating what we see on the ground to educate community and influence those making law and policy decisions.
Which results in...
people being able to navigate the complexity of the legal system, feeling in control and with less trauma.
And leads to...
people securing more positive outcomes for themselves from the legal system, which in turn gives them the opportunity to pursue better life outcomes.
