The purpose of the Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) is achieve culturally appropriate justice for Aboriginal people and communities.

We are predominantly a criminal law practice which provides advice and representation for both Indigenous adults and young persons. In addition, we provide services in child protection matters. In the past, we were also able to provide clients with representation in civil matters and family law. However, a reduction in our real funding means that we can not provide any assistance in these matters at this time.

Our values and guiding principles are:

• We are proudly Aboriginal
• We are Community focused 
• We are fearless in our advocacy
• We accountable and ethical
• We make a difference and create better futures
