Justice—health justice partnerships
(Question No 570)

Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, upon notice, on 3 December 2021:

What is the total number of clients received by the legal partners of (a) Women’s Legal Centre and (b) Legal Aid ACT for each year since the establishment of the Health Justice Partnership.

Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

Women’s Legal Centre

Legal Aid ACT

1 January – 30 June 2019

51

45

1 July 2019 – 30 June 2020

164

133

1 July 2020 – 30 June 2021

112

263

A partnership lawyer’s caseload is usually a mixture of new clients, ongoing case work and repeat clients returning after weeks or months to act on the initial advice provided by the lawyer.

Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
