National Children’s Commissioner Deb Tsorbaris will deliver the keynote address at Mallee Family Care’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Mildura Arts Centre on Thursday 15 October.
Commissioner Tsorbaris will reflect on children’s rights and access to justice.
She will also speak about the vital role community legal services play in ensuring children and families understand their rights and have their voices heard.
Audience members will have the opportunity to ask Commissioner Tsorbaris questions following the keynote speech.
Mallee Family Care’s Chief Executive Officer, Teresa Jayet, said Commissioner Tsorbaris’ visit to Mildura is an exciting opportunity for the local community.
“Having the National Children’s Commissioner in Mildura gives our community the chance to hear directly from Australia’s national advocate for children’s rights, and to ask her about the issues that matter to children and families,” Ms Jayet said.
Commissioner Tsorbaris’ visit comes as Mallee Family Care marks 30 years of its Community Legal Centre, which will be celebrated at the AGM.
The Community Legal Centre provides free and confidential legal advice, information, referrals and casework to people across Victoria and New South Wales.
Community members are invited to attend the event to hear from Commissioner Tsorbaris and learn about Mallee Family Care’s achievements in 2025–26.
