Victorian Law Week 2024 – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

Victorian Law Week is from 20 – 26 May 2024. Victorian Law Week is for everyday Victorians. People need access to vital information about their legal rights and responsibilities. It’s a state-wide program of events that help people to identify the law in common problems, understand their rights, find legal help and learn more about the law. There will be several events in the Goulburn Valley, including Rental Rights event at the Shepparton Library.

More than 100 events are taking place across both metro and regional Victoria. Some of the events are in-person and some run online.
