The Family Relationship Centre Legal Assistance Services Partnerships Program: Evolution and evaluation

Abstract In June 2009, the Commonwealth Attorney General announced a Family Relationship Centres/ Legal Assistance Partnerships Program, (the ‘Better Partnerships’ program) the aim of which was to assist separated or separating families, ‘by providing access to early and targeted legal information and advice when attending Family Relationship Centres’ (McClelland, 2009). The present paper contextualizes this significant shift in policy and practice. It then reports on key results of an evaluation of the program, completed in late 2010 by the Australian Institute of Family Studies. The paper concludes with reflections on the program and on future directions.
