AFLS opens new offices in Perth

Last week we officially opened our brand-new headquarters on Whadjuk Noongar land thanks to funding from the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC).

For almost a decade and a half, AFLS has supported the Indigenous community across WA by aiming to prevent, reduce and respond to incidents of family violence and sexual assault among Indigenous peoples.

This new location in Rivervale marks a pivotal moment for the organisation, reinforcing its commitment to supporting Indigenous communities across the state. The ILSC backed AFLS by providing $3.3 million in funding to make this permanent base a reality.

The milestone is being celebrated through a ceremony, where the premises will officially be handed over to AFLS on Whadjuk Nyoongar land in Rivervale. This event highlights the significance of the investment and the impact it will have on the lives of First Nations peoples.

“The event marks an important chapter in AFLS’ journey towards providing accessible and culturally safe legal services to our communities. These new headquarters will allow us to strengthen our outreach across the metro area, build our capacity, and enables us continue supporting our regional offices with their critical work,” explained AFLS CEO Corina Martin AOM.

Thank you to ILSC for your support in making this a reality.
