The Aboriginal Legal Service of Western Australia (Inc.) (ALSWA) provides legal representation and support services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Western Australia, including advocating in policy and law reform in submissions, at conferences and in the media.
ALSWA is funded by the Australian Government, through the Commonwealth Attorney General’s Department. The contracts between ALSWA and the Australian Government determine the scope of ALSWA work.
The ALSWA is managed by the Executive Committee, made up of Aboriginal peoples from throughout Western Australia. Representing different regions of the State, each member is elected by his or her local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
As well as the Perth office there are 12 regional ALSWA offices located in Albany, Broome, Bunbury, Carnarvon, Fitzroy Crossing, Geraldton, Halls Creek, Kalgoorlie, Kununurra, Meekatharra, Northam and South Hedland.
These offices provide ALSWA criminal law, family law and civil and human rights law work in the country and have access to the resources of the Perth office as required.
