Victoria Law Foundation is a not-for-profit, independent statutory body that helps Victorians understand the law and ultimately use it to improve their lives.

Established in 1967 and funded from the Legal Services Board Public Purpose Fund, our status as an independent body allows us to play a valuable role in driving and supporting innovative projects, modernising the legal system and promoting best practice across the legal sector.

Victoria Law Foundation is guided by the five strategic priorities in our Strategic Plan: we aim to reach out to our community, engage students with the law, provide better legal information, encourage best practice through our comprensive grants program, and demonstrate excellence in management.

We achieve this through our three main programs:

Grants

Our Grants Program offers funding, support and advice for innovative legal projects in our community.

Publications

The Foundation's Publications Program aims to provide essential legal information - when, where and how Victorians want it. We publish plain language information about the legal system and the legal issues that affect Victorians in their everyday lives.

Education

The Education Program at Victoria Law Foundation inspires high school and university students - as well as the broader public - to engage and interact directly with the justice system.
