Discrete Assistance Form - South-East Monash Legal Service

SMLS acknowledges the Bunurong People and the Wurundjeri People, as the traditional custodians of the land where we work, and First Peoples language groups and communities across Victoria and Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the people, traditions, culture and strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and the fight for survival, justice and country that has taken place across Victoria and Australia. We thank the Traditional custodians for caring for Country for thousands of generations. SMLS recognises the ongoing impact of colonisation, dispossession and racism. As a Community Legal Centre, we acknowledge the violence of Australian law and its ongoing role in processes of colonisation. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded, and that this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

SMLS is committed to supporting LGBTQIA+ people and communities, both as an employer, as a service provider, and an advocacy organisation. We stand with LGBTQIA+ people and communities and oppose any form of violence, bullying, harassment, vilification and discrimination, and with them in seeking to advance respect for their human rights. We affirm our commitment to supporting LGBTQIA+ students, staff, volunteers, clients, and communities. We will continue to support all our people to better understand, support and engage in advocacy with LGBTQIA+ people and communities in our region.
