National Legal Aid Survey of Private Practitioners

21/08/2024

National Legal Aid has engaged researchers from the Social Policy Research Centre at UNSW to conduct a survey of Legal Aid Private Practitioners.

The results of the survey will inform the future work of Legal Aid Commissions with private practitioners. Survey results will also form an important body of evidence for the advocacy of National Legal Aid nationwide.

The survey is designed to be completed by private legal practitioners who:

• have delivered legal aid services in the last two years;

• have been on a legal aid panel in the last two years; or

• work for an organisation on a list of preferred suppliers of legal aid services.

If you meet this inclusion criteria and wish to take part, the survey will ask about you and your work, the clients you work with, and how supports for legal aid private practitioners can be improved. Participation is voluntary and all responses are anonymous. The survey can be completed here.

The survey will take around 15 minutes to complete, and will close on 23 August 2024.
