Services provided by NWRN member organisations
Each NWRN member organisation provides casework assistance to its
clients, generally by phone, at least in the first instance. NWRN members
also conduct training and education for community workers and produce
various publications. The NWRN also engages in policy work and lobbying to
improve the current Social Security system.
Welfare Rights advocates are located either in a specialist community
legal centre that works predominantly in Social Security law and its
administration through Centrelink, or in a generalist legal centre that also
provides assistance in other areas of law. Members of the NWRN generally
provide services on a regional or state-wide basis. A complete list of NWRN
member organisations is set out below. To find your local NWRN organisation
