Refugee legal advice scheme in need of support
Tue Nov 19 2013Recently, the Bar Association issued a media release condemning the Australian Governmentâs decision to axe the Refugee Review Tribunal Legal Advice Scheme. Now, the Refugee Advice and Casework Service (RACS) has written to the president of the Bar Association, warning of "funding cuts by stealth", in which the government fails to allocate clients to RACS. The service still has much work to do regarding temporary protection visas and is asking members of the New South Wales Bar to make a donation.
