20.01.2022 We are proud to share that one of our solicitors, Rahima Wahidi, has been awarded the 2020 Young Women’s Community and Spirit Award. This award is given every year to an individual who is supporting others, using her skills to make our community a better place and thinking outside the box. Our solicitor, Rahima Wahidi, has been recognised for assisting individuals impacted by domestic and family violence and giving many women a voice and a choice. We are extremely proud and honoured to have Rahima as part of our team at NCLS. She is a hard worker who definitely deserves the 2020 Young Women’s Community and Spirit Award.

20.01.2022 How good does the outside of our building look now? This was produced by local artist Scott Rathman. Scott says the painting represents, "this moment in time where people from all over the globe have gathered here in this place. The future challenges us to nurture, support and grow together in ways where we respect all citizens, where we promote opportunity, we work to eliminate all forms of discrimination, and we engage all people in decision-making that affect their lives..., by truly valuing diversity". Thanks Scott
