When did CLCs come into existence?

The first Community Legal Centre (CLC) in Australia was Fitzroy Legal Service, which opened in Victoria in 1972.

Queensland’s first CLC, Caxton Legal Centre, commenced operating in a local ALP hall in 1976 and the first funding for the centre was provided by the Commonwealth in 1979.

In Queensland there are 34 CLCs. CLCs have been operating in Queensland now for over 30 years and have developed a unique and distinctive mode of service delivery.
