*Extended legal assistance and early resolution assistance are now included as part of all legal representation figures. This differs from how these services were presented in earlier annual reports.

**For 2018–2019, this graph shows the proportion of casework services and in-house duty services provided to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients. From 2019–2020 onwards, in-house duty services are not included in this calculation.

***Community legal education figures for 2021–22 have been revised following the identification of system issues that had previously resulted in undercounting. In last year’s report, we stated that we provided 797 community legal education sessions in 2021–22. The correct figure is 1,320.
