Thinking of running a Victorian Law Week event?

Victorian Law Week is a chance to help Victorians understand their rights, find answers to their questions, know what help is available and how our legal system works. And we can’t do it without you!

A huge statewide program

Over 20,000 Victorians engaged with Law Week each year, attending events and viewing publications, and over 1.2 million engaged online.

Running an event is a great way to connect with the community. There are many ways to get involved and support is available to help make the most out of your event.

When law meets life

Victorian Law Week is a time for Victorians to learn what to do when law meets life, to find out more about the law and where to get help.

The law can intersect with life in many ways. It can be to do with your home, work, relationships, where you are or what your buy. Sometimes it’s easy to deal with, or it can be difficult. It can feel distressing or help you feel safe.

In 2026 we'll be calling for in-person, online or on-demand events to help people:

• learn how the law helps with everyday problems
• understand your rights and where to get legal help
• explore the justice system and how the law works.
