Australian innovations in legal aid services: balancing cost and client needs. Australian legal aid innovations are at the forefront of international practice. Over the past decade, Australian Legal Aid Commissions have reduced the number of grants for legal representation, while introducing a range of new services, many of which are designed to assist clients to solve their own dispute out of court, or to undertake much of the work associated with court proceedings themselves. The project will subject these new services to independent evaluation and scholarly analysis. Its results will provide a valuable input into the future development of legal aid policy and services, and assist in achieving a desirable and cost-effective balance between litigation legal aid, 'outside litigation' and self-help options.

澳大利亚在法律的援助服务方面的创新：平衡成本和客户需求。澳大利亚的法律的援助创新走在国际实践的前列。在过去十年中，澳大利亚法律的援助委员会减少了为法律的代理提供赠款的数量，同时推出了一系列新的服务，其中许多服务旨在协助客户在庭外解决自己的争端，或自己承担与法庭诉讼有关的大部分工作。该项目将对这些新服务进行独立评估和学术分析。其结果将为法律的援助政策和服务的未来发展提供宝贵的投入，并有助于在诉讼法律的援助、“外部诉讼”和自助选择之间取得理想和具有成本效益的平衡。
