Law Week is an annual event held in May across Australia to promote public understanding of the law and its role in society. Each year in Canberra the Law Society and its partners run a range of events to celebrate and engage the local legal profession, and to educate the public about the role of lawyers in our society.
Law Week, along with the ACT Law Society Foundation, donates to a local Canberra charity each year. In 2025, we are supporting Roundabout Canberra.
Roundabout Canberra believe every child deserves a safe start and every family deserves dignity. Powered by an incredible team of volunteers, they provide safe, high-quality, essential baby and children’s items to families in need. In 2024 alone, Roundabout Canberra supported almost 5,000 local children.
Through strong partnerships with 140 social services, they ensure children and families receive the vital support they need. By taking care of essential material needs, Roundabout Canberra free up these services to focus on the broader challenges families face—helping to create a stronger, more supported community.
If you are unable to attend any of our fundraising events and would still like to donate to Roundabout Canberra you can so via their website here.
