We’re delighted to announce our landmark partnership with the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House (MoAD) as MoAD's exclusive legal partner. Hazelbrook has been appointed to provide a range of pro bono legal services to support MoAD’s vital work.
Housed in the iconic Old Parliament House, MoAD stands as a ‘people’s place,’ encouraging active participation and showcasing Australia’s robust, effective, and unique democratic system. MoAD provides access to the story of Australian democracy through the history of Old Parliament House and its exhibitions, education and outreach programs. Our country thrives on vocal participation within our democratic system and MoAD is playing a critical role in promoting this.
MoAD plays a significant role in enriching understanding and appreciation of Australia's political legacy and the intrinsic value of democracy – the capacity for people to have a say in the future of this nation.
Stephanie Bull, MoAd Director, highlighted ‘the significant role of partners, like Hazelbrook Legal in achieving MoAd’s goal of engaging people with democracy and making politics accessible.
“At MoAD our goal is this - to connect people to democracy because community sits front and centre in any successful democratic nation. And when community cares, when it is engaged with democracy, real progress can be made. This is work we can only achieve with the support of our partners.”
