Victoria Legal Aid

How three Fellows worked to find better ways to match
people with the right legal aid service across Victoria

The Challenge

Victoria Legal Aid strives to make legal services more accessible for the most disadvantaged people in Victoria.

One of the biggest problems they grapple with is a sector-wide disconnect in how individuals are matched to services and how clients are referred to different organisations.

Taking data and translating it into a tool that could match people to services was the starting point for Fellows Rikke Winther-Sørensen, Becca Blazak and Christian Arévalo.
