Real Life Research in Partnership – Understanding Civil Law Needs of Older People and Building Research Capacity in Community Legal Centres
The Knowledge Building Project (the Project) allowed
BCLS to invest time and resources in undertaking a
research project, in partnership with Deakin University
(Deakin), to better understand the civil law needs of older
people in the Barwon region. The project also sought to develop an evidence-based framework for the collection, interpretation and application of available data, which would lead to ongoing collaboration with Deakin to build BCLS’
research and data capacity across other areas of its legal
practice. The project model established a formalised partnership with Deakin’s Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Program, which embeds virtual student research interns within BCLS to assist with collecting and interpreting data.

GeelongResearch statement
Our project partnered with Barwon Community Legal Service established a WIL partnership to embed virtual student research interns within BCLS to assist with the collection and interpretation of data. Our research project aimed to: develop a new understanding of the civil law needs of older people and barriers preventing access to legal assistance in the Barwon Region; better understand referral pathways and service gaps for older people; and strengthen BCLS civil law and family violence services by incorporating this research into everyday practice. The project also built an evidence-based framework for the collection, interpretation and application of available data, which we hope will result in an ongoing collaboration with Deakin to build BCLS’ research and data capacity across other areas of legal practice. In May 2022 Barwon Community Legal Service (BCLS) launched this research report capturing our findings and recommendations.Publication classification
