Victoria Law Foundation plays an important role in developing, promoting and providing access to plain language information that helps all Victorians to understand the law and how it affects them.

Our publishing program is broad and varied, covering topics as diverse as parking, mediation, pets, accommodation and care of older residents, legal history and legal architecture, the courts and the jury process. We draw on the expertise and experience of the legal, community and education sectors in addressing legal issues that affect all Victorians. We also share our legal publishing expertise with recipients of Foundation grants and those working tirelessly in community legal centres and other important community-based organisations.

Printed publications

We produce a range of plain language printed material for community and for people working in the legal, community and education sectors. Some of our publications are available in Braille, large print or audio formats. See: Printed publications

Online resources

The Foundation publishes and manages a number of online resources, including three important community websites: Rural Law Online, Bushfire Legal Help and VictoriaLaw. See: Online publications
