Justice grants to boost legal services for vulnerable Queenslanders
Source: Queensland. Attorney-General . Media Release
"Attorney-General Cameron Dick announced almost $1.5 million in Bligh Government justice grants to support some of Queensland’s most vulnerable people. Mr Dick said 19 local community justice initiatives will benefit from the funding, to help support Indigenous people, the financially-disadvantaged, people with disabilities, refugees and other vulnerable groups throughout Queensland. “These grants provide financial support to projects which level the legal playing field for some of the most vulnerable, disadvantaged and marginalised people in our society,” Mr Dick said. “The Bligh Government is committed to providing a fair justice system which is accessible to all Queenslanders. This is reflected through the allocation of these grants, ranging from $15,000 to $149,200, to support a wide range of community-based initiatives which enhance legal services and education. "
