The Association has extensive interstate networks, particularly with our sister organisations Ngalaya Aboriginal Corporation in New South Wales and the Indigenous Lawyers Association of Queensland.  ILSLAV-Tarwirri has provided assistance to our interstate counterparts, and most opportunities that are on offer in Victoria are also promoted to Indigenous law students and lawyers in the other states.
