Through legal assistance, community partnerships and practical support, HHG Giving Back focuses on contributing where help can have lasting impact.
Supporting people beyond the law
Not every challenge can be solved in a courtroom.
Over many years, our team has worked alongside charities, not-for-profits, community organisations and individuals facing difficult circumstances. Sometimes that support comes through legal representation. Sometimes it is practical assistance, advocacy, financial contribution or simply making professional expertise available where it can have the greatest impact.
We have supported organisations and causes connected to:
- family and domestic violence prevention
- homelessness and housing support
- mental health initiatives
- youth development and education
- regional community programs
- arts and cultural initiatives
- Aboriginal community organisations
- medical and health research
Our approach is deliberate and long term. We focus on partnerships where we can contribute in a meaningful and sustained way.
Access to justice matters
Legal assistance can be out of reach for many people at the exact moment they need it most.
HHG continues to provide pro bono legal support and community legal assistance across a range of areas, including through selected clinics, referrals and community partnerships.
Our lawyers work with individuals and organisations experiencing genuine hardship, with a focus on matters where legal support can make a lasting difference.
Applications for pro bono assistance are assessed carefully having regard to:
- financial circumstances
- the nature and urgency of the matter
- broader community impact
- whether alternative assistance is available
Not every request can be accepted, however every application is considered thoughtfully and respectfully.
