Our work

Advocacy

In advance of the Federal double dissolution election in July 2016, the Australian Lawyers Alliance (ALA) surveyed major parties on priority issues for our members. We outlined our main priorities, our policy on those priorities and asked key questions to gauge parties' positions on those priorities. We received comprehensive responses to most of our letters.

CTP

Members of the Australian Lawyers Alliance (ALA) regularly represent those who have suffered injury on the roads.

Changes to compensation schemes can sometimes threaten to undermine individuals’ access to adequate compensation and control over their own lives.
