    Transcript

    The NSW Law Reform Commission is an independent agency that reviews laws for the NSW Government.

    We review a law when the NSW Attorney General asks us to. 

    We gather information to understand how the law is working and areas for improvement.  

    We release consultation papers that explain the law and ask the public for feedback.

    Anyone can have their say – you don’t need to be a lawyer.

    Get in touch. Let us know your experiences and ideas for making the law better. This is called a submission.

    We also meet with people and groups to hear their views. These are called consultations. 

    Based on our research, and your feedback, we make recommendations to the NSW Attorney General. 

    The Government considers your views and our recommendations and decides what happens next.

    This may lead to changes in the law.
