This paper examines the patterns of legal service utilisation by people affected by such events using data from a statewide provider of free disaster-related legal assistance. This research presents findings on 6 primary legal issue categories of insurance, grants, tenancy (loss of dwelling), tenancy (not loss of dwelling), goods and services, and environment/neighbours. The findings suggest that assistance for different types of legal issues is requested at different stages of the recovery process. The analysis highlights the importance of timely and tailored legal assistance to support recovery and resilience. By understanding these patterns, policy makers and service providers can better allocate resources to improve access to necessary support by affected individuals. This research contributes to the understanding of the legal dimensions of disaster recovery and underscores the critical role of legal assistance in response and recovery. Given that many people seek non-legal assistance when resolving legal problems, these results are also relevant for government and community service organisations that provide non-legal support to people experiencing these types of problems post-disaster.</jats:p> 2025-07-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/195321 Title: Research With Young People Released From Youth Justice Detention in Australia: Ethical Tensions and Practical Limitations During a Pandemic Authors: Ewenson, L Abstract: This article explores and reflects upon some of the ethical tensions and practical issues relevant to the author’s research which involved undertaking narrative inquiry with young people from Anglo-Saxon and Pacific Islander cultural backgrounds, and First Nations young people, all recently released from youth justice detention in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Ethical tensions which arose while undertaking this research related to the impact of gatekeeper reliance, through minimising the likelihood of reprisals for young people engaging in the research, as well through practical and relational limitations exacerbated by the advent of Covid-19. 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/195064 Title: Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations and disaster response Authors: Ewenson, L; Corby, C; Hickey, V; Spencer, W; MacGillivray, P; McCausland, R Abstract: Relevant international frameworks, government policy and academic discourse about disaster response and recovery claim that it should be community-centred. Walgett, New South Wales, has recently endured a number of disasters including floods, COVID-19, and water and food security concerns. The experience of recent disasters in Walgett revealed that the Walgett Aboriginal community is disproportionately negatively impacted at times of such crises. Changes to disaster governance arrangements are required and adequate resources are needed for the Aboriginal community within the town and surrounding areas to support appropriate disaster response and recovery, and to strengthen long-term community wellbeing overall. 2025-06-01T00:00:00Z
