Fitzroy Legal Service
Enver ERDOGAN (Northern Metropolitan – Minister for Corrections, Minister for Youth Justice, Minister for Victim Support) (09:55): On another matter, I also had the pleasure of visiting the Fitzroy Legal Service to announce that this year’s budget will renew funding for their Q+Law program. Community legal centres in Victoria help build a better understanding of laws in our state. Fitzroy Legal Service is a leader in the space, and their programs are often accessed by the most vulnerable people in our community. Q+Law provides a free statewide safe entry point to accessing legal assistance for all individuals who identify as part of the LGBTIQA+ communities. A huge thankyou to the interim CEO Hamish McLachlan, chief operating officer Shane Marr and legal director Rebecca Johnston-Ryan for the work they are doing. I wish Q+Law all the best with the amazing work that they do for our community in Melbourne’s north.
