Modernising our websites

We are redeveloping our websites to make it easier for people to access the information and assistance they need.

We are redeveloping the legalaid.vic.gov.au website to make it easier for people to access the information and assistance they need through a modernised website with easier to use information and self-help tools. As a part of this redevelopment, we’re migrating all of our websites into the Single Digital Presence (SDP) environment.

We recently relaunched the Disaster Legal Help and IMHA websites in the platform. All of the content you know and regularly use will still be available, within the same structures, but with an updated layout. Some URLs might have changed, so if you have links saved to pages within these sites, you may need to update them.

SDP is a standardised website management system for Victorian Government websites that is user-centric, flexible, accessible, secure, fully supported and continually improved. We are moving our websites to this platform to take advantage of efficiencies in development and ongoing maintenance for technical upgrades as well as accessibility, best practice standards and security compliance.

​We will shortly release our Handbook for Lawyers and LawHub (renamed from LawGuru) on the new platform to deliver a modern, user-friendly experience. Our main VLA website, which will be launched early next year, will ultimately allow users to self-help with easy-to-use legal information and tools, engage with services digitally and connect them to legal assistance.

If you have any questions, please contact Associate Director Strategic Communications Jasmine Fiegehen at jasmine.fiegehen@vla.vic.gov.au
