Bundaberg Street Law

19/05/2026

National Volunteering Week 2026 celebrates the theme “Your Year to Volunteer”, recognising the important role volunteers play in our local communities and organisations all across Australia.

At Bundaberg Street Law, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Their contribution extends beyond our drop in legal clinics with their skills and support helping strengthen community connections. A heartfelt Thank You to every volunteer (past and present) who helps us to keep helping others.

Today our CEO Jo Leveritt MAICD was proudly manning the stand at the Bundaberg Regional Council 2026 Volunteering Expo to showcase what we do and engage with potential volunteers.

To think that our charity was started only a few years ago during Covid from very humble beginnings, as Jo explained in a recent interview with Volunteering Queensland which you can read about here "Justice, Made Accessible"
