Join Our Management Committee (Voluntary) – Make a Real Difference!
At Western NSW Community Legal Centre (WNSWCLC), we believe everyone deserves fair access to justice, no matter where they live or what challenges they face. Our work reaches across a vast and diverse region of Western NSW, supporting people who are often left without a voice.
Becoming a Management Committee member (Voluntary) is your opportunity to work with a committed team of advocates, professionals, and community members who share a vision of equality and justice. As part of the Committee, you'll help shape its future direction, strengthen its capacity, and ensure that thousands of people continue to receive the vital legal and support services they rely on.
If you've ever wanted to use your skills and experience to give back to the community, to be part of something bigger than yourself, and to leave a legacy of fairness and inclusion, this is your chance.
ABOUT US

We are values-driven and committed to justice, respect, and advocacy for systemic change through community engagement and law reform.
