How much legal is enough? Exploring the dosage question
Join us to explore what legal dosage is, and why getting it right matters for people, services, and the sector.

Not all legal problems are alike, and neither are the people who experience them. Yet across the legal assistance sector, questions about how much support is enough, for whom, and in what form remain largely unanswered.
Our latest report, Measure for Measure, found that initiatives in Victoria operate across a wide spectrum, from light-touch information and education through to intensive integrated casework. What is seen as effective practice takes many forms. But evidence on which levels of support work best for different people and problems is limited.
This Research Network webinar takes up one of the most significant questions the sector can now pursue: legal dosage. Drawing on findings from Measure for Measure, alongside practitioner experience, the session will build a shared understanding of what legal dosage means in the context of people-centred justice, and explore what matching the right person to the right level of help can look like.
The discussion will highlight how a clearer picture on effective legal dosage—what works, and for whom—could transform how services are designed, sustained, and scaled.
We look forward to continuing this conversation with practitioners and researchers across the sector. Register now to secure your place.
