Why we're walking

Your support creates a powerful ripple effect! Donations to Walk for Justice multiply many times over in pro bono legal services for vulnerable South Australians. 

Held during Law Week on National Pro Bono Day, this event celebrates the legal profession's extraordinary commitment to helping those facing disadvantage. The walk represents a significant portion of JusticeNet SA's annual funding, allowing us to continue connecting those in need with vital legal support throughout the year.

Sonya's Story

Sonya* receives the disability support pension and lives in community housing. She was being bullied by her neighbours, who complained to SACAT in an attempt to have her evicted.

We helped Sonya negotiate with her landlord so that she could be transferred to a different property, away from her neighbours.

John's Story

Having lived in his public housing property for nearly 20 years, John* was referred to Homeless Legal when his landlord obtained an order to evict him. He didn't have anywhere else to go.

We helped John apply for an urgent review of the decision to evict him. At the hearing, orders were made about clean-up plans, financial counselling and other support but, critically, John was given the gift of time.

About JusticeNet SA

JusticeNet SA is a not-for-profit legal service for South Australians in need. We help vulnerable people access the justice they deserve by empowering lawyers to give back through meaningful pro bono work.

Since 2008, JusticeNet SA has worked tirelessly to stop disadvantaged people from slipping through the cracks in the legal system. Our pro bono clearing house and discrete task assistance clinics support people experiencing hardship, including poverty and homelessness, refugees and asylum seekers, and people representing themselves in court.

We provide a structured environment for top-tier law firms to fulfil their pro bono targets and equip lawyers with the skills they need to tackle the complexity of this work.

As Walk for Justice grows, so too does our impact with record breaking assistance in 2023-2024 across our services.

Pro Bono Connect

We connect people and charities with lawyers who can help them resolve their civil law problems.

Self-Representation Service

We offer legal advice and assistance to people representing themselves in the Federal Courts.

Homeless Legal

Our outreach legal service helps people who are experiencing (or are at risk of) homelessness.
