The ICLC Foundation is a charitable trust established in 2012 to support the Inner City Legal Centre (ICLC). The purpose of the foundation is to fund the work of the ICLC, in particular additional projects connected with the provision of legal services and access to justice, with a particular focus on LGBTI support, where the ICLC does not have the resources to pursue those projects itself.
Vision
A NSW where socially and economically disadvantaged people, including LGBTI communities, understand the law, have their legal rights protected and have access to a just legal system.
Mission
To provide innovative, empowering and high quality legal services through advice, representation, education and advocacy
Foundation Patron
The Honourable Michael Kirby, AC CMC
