Legal Services Board Grants Program

The Grants Program was established in 2007 to distribute funding to projects that aim to improve the administration of laws, increase access to justice, improve legal services and inform and educate the wider community about legal services.

The grants are available from the Board administered Public Purpose Fund, which includes funds from a number of sources including the interest on solicitors’ trust accounts and income from investments.

With the approval of the Attorney General, the grants can be used for:

• Law reform
• Legal education
• Legal research
• Any purpose relating to the legal profession or law that the Board considers appropriate.

Grants are available in two rounds, Project Grants and Major Grants.

Applications for Project Grants will open later this year.
