Open for nominations: the Attorney General's Community Service Law Awards are back for 2026!

We’re fortunate to boast a number of excellent private practitioners on our Panels and Lists, and are honoured to have an award category dedicated to recognising a particularly exceptional private practitioner on Legal Aid WA's Panels and Lists.

If you know a legendary lawyer on our panel who is making a real difference in the lives of Western Australians experiencing disadvantage, give them the recognition they deserve by submitting an award nomination.

For we asked Declan, a valued volunteer in our Perth office, to share some words about his time so far at Legal Aid WA.

We’re thankful to Declan - and all our volunteers - for choosing to volunteer with us, and are grateful to play a part in their legal careers.

Getting out into the community during Law Week is so rewarding – especially when you’re standing alongside partner organisations (and mates) in Geraldton, cooking snags and answering the community’s questions about our services and activities in the region.

🌟 Big thanks to our Geraldton community! 🌟

Yesterday, our Geraldton AFLS team was proud to stand alongside Legal Aid WA at the Geraldton Courthouse for Law Week!

We hosted an information stall and community BBQ, creating a warm space for locals to yarn, connect, and learn about the legal and support services available across the Mid West region.

It was fantastic to chat with community members, answer questions, share helpful resources, and strengthen local partnerships that help build safer families and stronger communities.

A huge shoutout to Legal Aid WA for the great collaboration and to everyone who stopped by for a yarn and a feed! 🙌
