➢ About the CLSD Program
This data pack provides a profile of the Taree Forster CLSD region using data
from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the Legal Assistance Services
Data Digest (LASDD) compiled by the Law and Justice Foundation. It also uses
the Foundation’s Collaborative Planning Resource (CPR) to present data on
Need for Legal Assistance Service (NLAS) indicators and priority groups.
➢ About the CPR
➢ Definitions for the Foundation’s CPR NLAS indicators and CPR priority groups
CLSD regions are based on Local Government Area (LGA) boundaries. LASDD
data is presented by LGA in tables and graphs. Maps present data by postcode
for a more precise visual representation and may therefore cover a slightly
larger area than the CLSD region.
