LawHelp Australia LawHelp Australia (LHA) is a registered charity in Australia. In short LHA is a catalyst for righteousness with a legal focus.

Our mission is to:
LawHelp Australia is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing legal information to the public in an easy-to-use, accessible and culturally relevant way. This includes heavy focus on publication of legal rights (both substantial and procedural) in as many diverse languages as resources will allow so as to be able to reach the vast and growing immigrant and underprivileged classes of Australia. LawHelp is currently focusing its efforts in Victoria and hopes to expand to other states in due course. Its goal is to become the โ€˜first port of callโ€™ for easy to understand legal information, especially produced in the native language of the audience. LawHelp is also producing a television program (a panel-based interview/discussion show) to further its goals. LawHelp Australia has received generous support from:

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Minimum Wage for Australiaโ€™s Delivery Drivers.Delivery drivers and other gig-economy workers play an increasingly important role in Australia, yet many have worked without the same minimum pay protections traditionally available to employees.

Australiaโ€™s workplace relations framework is changing to provide greater protections for certain โ€œemployee-likeโ€ gig workers, including the capacity for minimum standards relating to pay and working conditions to be set through the Fair Work Commission.

For context, Australiaโ€™s National Minimum Wage is currently $26.44 per hour from 1 July 2026, although the legal entitlements applying to delivery drivers depend on their employment status and the applicable award or minimum standards.

Fair pay and reasonable working conditions should remain an important part of the discussion as Australiaโ€™s gig economy continues to grow.

Human Rights Day โ€ฆ..In a time of rising hate, vilification and discrimination....
What did they say....?
In a time of rising hate, vilification and discrimination in our society, the Summit brought together more than 100 leaders from across Victoriaโ€™s diverse communities. The Summit was addressed by the Premier of Victoria, the Hon. Jacinta Allan, and Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commissioner, Ro Allen. The Attorney General of Victoria, the Hon. Sonya Kilkenny, Sheena Watt MP, and Victoria Police Chief Commissioner, Mike Bush attended the Summit.
Along with Dr Diana Cousens we represented the Buddhist Counsel of Victoria.
On Human Rights Day 2025, Victoriaโ€™s Anti-Hate Summit affirmed that we are stronger together.

The Buddhist Council of Victoria condemns and expresses its sincere condolences to the families, loved ones, and communities affected by this brutal massacre targeted at the Jewish community celebrating the first day of Hanukkah, which took place at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, over recent hours.
Teachings and mindsets, religious or otherwise, that promote hatred and heinous violence, whether domestic or international, must be pursued and disrupted without hesitation to prevent such harm in the future. We urge the Federal, State, and Territory Governments of Australia to take immediate and decisive action to ensure all necessary resources are deployed to identify those responsible, prevent further cowardly attacks, dismantle their networks, and cut off their funding.
Australia must remain a nation where people can move about without fear, intimidation, or terror.
This tragedy reminds us of the fragility and impermanence of life, a truth at the heart of the Buddhaโ€™s teachings. As the Dhammapada reminds us:
โ€œArise! Be mindful! Train yourself with diligence. The wise say life is uncertain โ€” do not delay in awakening.โ€
In honouring those we have lost, let us reflect deeply, live mindfully, and offer kindness and compassion to all beings.
May all beings be safe. May all beings be free from suffering.

โš–๏ธOn this International Human Rights Day on the request of the Human Rights Commissioner Ro Allen I was able facilitate in arranging the meditation session at the Summit. We are fortunate to have Venerable Pasadika Thero from the Buddhist Council of Victoria to lead a morning meditation fostering peace, harmony and openness. Guests were encouraged by the Commission to join the activity to start their day with some quiet reflection. On the left is Venerable Pasadika Thero and in the middle is the Human Rights Commissioner.
