How This Charity Supports the Community
Bundaberg Street Law Ltd is a volunteer-driven charity based in Bundaberg, Queensland, dedicated to providing free, face-to-face legal assistance to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic’s exposure of inequitable access to justice, the organisation focuses on supporting vulnerable community members, particularly women who are victim-survivors of domestic and family violence. Bundaberg Street Law operates with a holistic, person-centred approach, co-locating with wrap-around support services to address clients’ broader needs beyond legal advice.
Steps Forward: Legal Support for Families in Foster or Kinship Care
The charity’s flagship project, Steps Forward, offers free legal information and advice specifically for parents whose children have recently entered foster or kinship care in Bundaberg.

By focusing on this vulnerable group, Steps Forward enhances access to justice and promotes family stability.
