Attorney-General Philip Ruddock announced last week that “selected providers are expected to start delivering services on 1 February 2006”.
“This will provide increased certainty for service providers and a sharpened ability to distribute resources to those in need of legal aid services,” Ruddock said.

As part of the tendering process, information sessions and workshops will be conducted in Darwin, Alice Springs and Adelaide.
