Thinking of running a Victorian Law Week event?

It’s time to start thinking about Victorian Law Week – we’d love to have you on board for 2025!

Victorian Law Week is a chance to help Victorians understand their rights, find answers to their questions, know what help is available and how our legal system works. And we can’t do it without you!

A huge statewide program

Over 20,000 Victorians engaged with Law Week in 2024, attending events and viewing publications, and over 1.2 million were reached through social media.

Running an event is a great way to connect with the community. There are many ways to get involved and support is available to help make the most out of your event.

So, get a cup of tea and some brainstorms brewing, and start thinking about what you can put in the 2025 program.

How to get involved

Event submissions will open 3 March 2025. In the meantime, you can get a head start and register your interest in running an event in 2025.

By letting us know early that you would like to run an event, you’ll get the most of our support in helping to shape and develop your idea.

Register your interest and we’ll be in touch very soon with more about the 2025 theme and the help available!

Ways to get involved

Running a Victorian Law Week event is a great way to connect with your local community and deliver valuable and accessible information.

There are many ways to deliver information and creativity in events is more than welcome.  A Victorian Law Week activity could be:

  • a drop-in information stand at your local neighbourhood house or library
  • an informal question-and-answer session
  • an obligation-free 40-minute legal consultations
  • a webinar on a relevant legal topic
  • a chance to try a new approach to improving legal awareness.

If your organisation already runs free community legal education activities, you may be able to be included in the program. They would just need to be scheduled during Victorian Law Week so that you can benefit from the increased profile.
