The Aboriginal Legal Service has launched a new website. PDF Print E-mail

Dear friend

I am very proud to announce the launch our new website at www.alsnswact.org.au.

Last year the ALS Board and staff agreed our website required a makeover. It needed to be more user friendly, easier to navigate, and with more information that is relevant and current. The result is a brand new website which now meets the needs of ALS staff and our community.
Some of the features on the new website include:
there is a news panel on the front page for up-to-date information on the ALS and our community;
we now have a job vacancy page;
we have a page inviting the broader community to donate to the ALS as a Public Benevolent Institution;
our office details are easily located;
our ALS history is on the site;
we have Community Legal Education resources and films on our site for viewing;
plus many more features!
The website displays photos of our wonderful staff and volunteers as we feel it is important for people using our service to know who will be assisting them.

The new website reflects who we are, our strength and our survival. I am pleased with the new website as I hope you will be when visiting www.alsnswact.org.au.

If you have any comments or suggestions about the new website, have some news you want to put on the site, or have seen something that should really not be there, please don't hesitate to contact Kate Finlayson on 8303 6699 or 0418 254 237. All of your comments are invited and welcome!

Regards,

Gerry Moore

GETTING YOUR FINANCES BACK ON TRACK AFTER EXPERIENCING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PDF Print E-mail

Many women who are thinking about or have left an abusive partner find themselves with limited finances or debt.
Abuse can affect women’s finances in many ways. Financial hardship can leave some women feeling trapped in an
abusive relationship because of concerns about surviving on their own. This leaflet has information about services
for women whose finances have been affected due to domestic violence.

New processes for Aboriginal people in NSW seeking financial support
for funeral services

As of July 1 2011, the NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) and Aboriginal Affairs NSW (AANSW) have pooled funeral assistance funding, which will now be administered by the NSWALC. Aboriginal people will now be able to make a single application for financial assistance, depending on eligibility and available funds. All applications must be approved by NSWALC in order to receive final payment. NSWALC will process all applications using the existing NSWALC application form, which may be downloaded at www.alc.org.au.

For further information, please contact the NSWALC Funeral Grants
Hotline on (02) 9689 4470 or Free-call 1800 647 487.
