Law Reform

ELC advocates on behalf of vulnerable employees and actively contributes to law reform in employment law and related areas such as anti-discrimination law, equal opportunity law, access to justice and human rights. We usually make written submissions. However our staff have also appeared and made oral submissions at Parliamentary inquiries.
