Vision

A justice system that delivers fair outcomes for people experiencing disadvantage.

Purpose

To use the law and our expertise to inform and represent our clients, and advocate for social justice.

Outcomes

The Legal Aid NSW Strategic Plan 2023–28 sets out four priorities for our work over the period covered in this report and the following four years. These priorities cover our clients, our people, our processes and our justice system, and they were chosen as a result of extensive consultation with our staff.

Our priorities provide a framework to ensure that we are an organisation that champions our staff and their wellbeing while delivering on our commitment to provide the best possible services to our clients.
