Self-help resources and tools for community organisations
Helping organisations navigate common legal questions
There are many legal requirements that need to be understood by the people running the organisation, when they are often resource constrained and focused on the impact they are trying to have in their community.
That’s why Justice Connect’s Not-for-profit Law developed a suite of tools and resources for not-for-profits, community organisations, and social enterprises – to help organisations navigate common legal questions through easy-to-understand, plain language online support.
Online resources
Every day, our library of over 300+ online legal information resources reach hundreds of community organisations across Australia. Our resources consists of fact sheets, guides, templates, and self-help tools, and assist at all stages of a not-for-profit’s lifecycle: from getting started to winding up. They span across 10 key areas of law, including governance and directors’ duties, managing employees and volunteers, contracts, funding, and collaboration.
Equipping people with the right knowledge at the right time, we make it easier for community organisations to prevent and respond to legal issues.

Measuring the impact of our online resources
Our annual Online User Survey gathers feedback from our most engaged digital users to help us understand their experience utilising our online services. The results indicate the valuable role our self-help resources play in supporting community organisations to learn about their legal obligations and navigate complex laws.
Building capability and confidence through online legal help means organisations grow stronger, more effective and can focus on helping more people in need.

Self-help tools
In our suite of resources we have interactive digital information tools that empower not-for-profit organisations to distil relevant packets of information tailored to their specific needs. Users are guided through a series of questions about their organisation – in plain, simple English – and then generates a downloadable, customised report.
