Enabling community workers

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”2em”][vc_column_text]

This is NOT a self help website for people running small businesses in distress – these clients are often dealing with multiple personal and financial issues and will need assistance to absorb information and make strategic choices

These resources were collected for the Drought Legal Support Project in 2017, funded by Victoria Legal Aid and managed by the Consumer Action Law Centre. Thank you to the agencies serving the Wimmera who assisted with steering this project, especially Murray Mallee Community Legal Centre, Central Highlands Community Legal Centre and VLA Horsham.
