This project aims to improve the capacity of all members of the WA Community to advocate for the rights of people with disability. 為所有西澳大利亞人提供法律諮詢和殘疾宣傳 Connecting people with disability to legal assistance 建議和倡導 歡迎來到蘇塞克斯街社區法律服務 歡迎來到 SSCLS。很高興向您介紹我們的非營利非政府社區組織，自 1978 年以來，該組織為社區中的低收入人群提供負責任、非判斷性和有效的法律和社會服務。 我們很高興和興奮您加入我們，我們相信您會喜歡我們所做的寶貴工作以及您將在蘇塞克斯街獲得的體驗。 Speak with us Disability Legal Priority Phone Line If you are a person with disability and you need legal assistance, our priority line has been set up to support you. (08) 6383 7880 9.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday Location Where to find us We are located in offices in the Perth metro area as well as regional Western Australia. About the Project The project focus is on the development of formal referral pathways between disability service providers and WA community legal centres (CLCs). Early identification of (potential) legal issues and need for legal support allows a timely referrals for people with disability, First Nations People and young people at risk. We recognise the need for ongoing consultation with people with disability. Improving access to legal assistance for young people and First Nations Australians will ensure better outcomes. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Western Australia currently imprisons Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People at a higher rate than any other Australian State. Furthermore, First Nations People are disproportionately over-represented in our prison system. The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability reports that: - 3% of the population are First Nations people. - 28% of prisoners were First Nations people. - At least 26% of First Nations people coming into prison reported having a disability. Our commitment to law reform and promoting social justice means that we must address these matters. We do this by supporting collaborative and formal referral pathways to specialist legal support for First Nations People. Youth at Risk 63% of children in detention were unsentenced whilst waiting for the outcome of their court matter or sentencing. Unfortunately, in Western Australia, the adult imprisonment rate was 29 persons per 10,000 adult population. 23 children (aged 10-17) per 10,000 are under supervision. 685 young people aged 10 and over were under youth justice supervision. 23 per 10,000 young people aged 10–17 were under supervision. 20 x young indigenous people were 20 times as likely as non-Indigenous young people to be under supervision. 59% of children under supervision aged 10–17 were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Compounding factors such as youth, indigenous status and disability need very tailored and dedicated whole-of-community responses in order to safeguard legal rights. We'd love to hear from you. We are interested in hearing from people with disability, who have experience with the legal system and need(ed) legal assistance. We are also interested in hearing from people, who work with people with disability. We would like to hear about your experiences of trying to assist a person with disability to find legal assistance. - I am a person with disability and I would like to offer my feedback about living with disability and getting legal help. - I work with people with disability and I would like to offer my feedback about trying to get legal help for people with disability. - I would like to offer my feedback about the Legal Health Check Tool.
