Our Approach
The Victorian Law Reform Commission is a publicly-funded statutory authority that is committed to inclusive law reform independent of the political process.
We work closely with the community to identify laws that need reform by:
- consulting with people who may be affected by reforms or have particular expertise in an area
- seeking comments on proposals before making recommendations to the government.
We try to talk to people from traditionally marginalised groups, including regional and remote communities, Indigenous peoples, people from non-English speaking backgrounds and people with disabilities.
We endeavour to:
- make recommendations that are practical to implement and make the law more accessible
- draw on initiatives and experience in other states and countries.
