Applications for the 2011/12 CLC Fellowship have now closed.

The Community Legal Centre (CLC) Fellowship was established in 2003 to coincide with 30 years of CLCs in Victoria. It is awarded annually through a competitive application process to one CLC worker with suitable qualifications and experience.

The CLC Fellowship provides the Fellow with an opportunity to conduct research into issues that have been identified through their case work or advocacy.

Based on a sabbatical model, the award covers the cost of back-filling the Fellow’s position at their CLC for between three to six months. This allows the Fellow to undertake extensive research for their project and travel within Australia or internationally to visit relevant organisations.
