CRISIS APPEAL: Defend life-saving access to justice
More Aboriginal people are locked inside prisons and police cells than ever before.
People are dying in custody in the highest numbers on record.
This is an emergency. The need for free, culturally safe legal support has never been more critical.
Your donation will help us provide life-saving legal assistance and advocacy for those who need it most.
Your solidarity makes an impact
When you support the Aboriginal Legal Service, you’re standing with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
We’re an Aboriginal community-controlled organisation that has been at the forefront of the fight for justice for more than 50 years – longer than any other community legal service in Australia.
We rely on allies like you to keep our doors open. Our funding is stretched to the brink – it can’t meet the huge need for our services. Meanwhile, government decisions are forcing an unprecedented number of Aboriginal people into police cells and jails.
We’re under more pressure than ever. But with your help, we can avoid turning people away. Together, we can fight for the things that matter: dignity, respect, justice and equity. A fair go for all.
Your donation is tax-deductible
The Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) Limited is a registered not-for-profit organisation and deductible gift recipient. All donations of $2 and over are tax-deductible. You will receive a donation receipt via email shortly after making your donation.
Thank you for your solidarity and support.
