On Tuesday, 16 May 2023, we will celebrate National Pro Bono Day. Held annually on the Tuesday of National Law Week, this day is a great opportunity to celebrate the contribution of the Australian legal profession to improving access to justice for the most vulnerable in our communities through pro bono legal work. 

In 2023, a number of Walks for Justice will be held across Australia to raise funds for local pro bono referral organisations: 

• Walk for Justice 2023 WA is raising funds for Law Access. 
• Walk for Justice 2023 SA is raising funds for JusticeNet SA. 
• Walk for Justice 2023 NSW is raising funds for the National Justice Project and the Refugee Advice & Casework Service.
• Queensland Legal Walk 2023 is raising funds for LawRight.

To celebrate National Pro Bono Day, the Australian Pro Bono Centre is proud to release a collection of writings by six Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lawyers from the pro bono community on the topic of Why the Voice to Parliament Matters.
