Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons, disabled persons, homeless persons and people with a mental illness are more prone to experiencing substantial and multiple legal problems.
Access to justice is a key plank of a well-functioning, socially inclusive democracy. More than lawyers and courts, access to justice is about ensuring that Australians, especially those facing disadvantage, have the capacity to resolve disputes through both informal and formal mechanisms.
These problems are often linked to a complex web of legal and non-legal issues.
