Save the date: LARS 2025 thank you function

16/09/2025

The NSW Bar Association Legal Assistance Referral Scheme (LARS) is hosting a thank you function for participating members on Thursday, 20 November 2025. LARS has formally existed since 1996 and reflects the strongly held view of the Bar that a person’s rights and access to justice should not be diminished because they have little or no money. This event is an opportunity to acknowledge our members’ commitment and dedication in offering their time and expertise to assist in LARS and the Duty Barrister Scheme.

Please note that attendance at the LARS thank you function is by invitation only, which will be sent out in October.

If you are willing to offer your services to assist in LARS, please complete this online form to register your interest. The scheme's guidelines are available from the NSW Bar Association's website under About Legal Assistance.

Should you have any questions, please contact Anita Gargiulo, Manager of Legal Assistance Referral Scheme.
