Justice Connect’s Not-for-profit Law, supported by the Victorian Government, is providing free, customised governance and legal training for Victorian Neighbourhood Houses.
These sessions will be delivered by one of our passionate lawyers, with specialised experience in not-for-profit and charity law.
Each online session is interactive, delivered in plain English, with plenty of opportunity to consider and workshop real world scenarios, hands on activities and engage in group discussion.
Throughout the training, participants will be referred to Not-for-profit Law’s resources - detailed fact sheets, guides, templates, and tools about the key areas of the law being discussed.
