The National Pro Bono Resource Centre is an Australian independent, non profit organisation that encourages pro bono legal services, supports lawyers and law firms to make it easier for them to provide high quality pro bono legal services and works with the profession and the community sector to match services with the clients and groups most in need of assistance.
The Centre is an independent, non profit organisation that aims to:
The Centre receives financial assistance from the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department, the State and Territory Attorney-Generals and the Faculty of Law at the University of New South Wales. The Centre is not able to refer individuals to lawyers for help with a legal problem (see ‘How to find legal help’). The Centre promotes and supports pro bono through its independent role as advocate, broker, coordinator, researcher and resource provider. Details of the Centre’s publications and current activities are available on this site. In planning its activities the Centre has drawn on recommendations and reports prepared by others, in particular the National Pro Bono Task Force Report. The Centre has established an Advisory Council and consults widely with the legal profession, community sector, and other relevant people. The Centre welcomes feedback on its plans and activities.
