VALS was established to address the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the criminal justice system.

ABOUT VALS

The Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service Co-operative Limited (VALS) was established as a community controlled Co-operative Society in 1973. VALS plays an important role in providing referrals, advice/information, duty work or case work assistance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the State of Victoria. Solicitors at VALS specialise in one of three areas of law, being Criminal Law, Family Law and Civil Law.

VALS maintains a strong client service focus which is achieved through the role of Client Service Officers (CSOs) who act as a bridge between the legal system and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. VALS is actively involved in community education, research and advocacy around law reform and policy development. VALS strives to:

Promote social justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
Promote the right of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to empowerment, identity and culture;
Ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples enjoy their rights, are aware of their responsibilities under the law and have access to appropriate advice, assistance and representation;
Reduce the disproportionate involvement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the criminal justice system; and
Promote the review of legislation and other practices which discriminate against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
