Looking to bring real-world law reform insights into your classroom? The Victorian Law Reform Commission (VLRC) has released an updated Law Reform in Action booklet—now featuring a new case study on Stalking. The booklet outlines how law reform works in practice, from how the VLRC conducts inquiries and engages with the community to how it develops recommendations that shape Victorian law.
As part of its education program, the VLRC also presents school talks online or in person at the VLRC CBD Office tailored to the VCE Legal Studies study design. These interactive sessions draw on recent VLRC inquiries and give students a practical understanding of the law reform process. Request a speaker at at the VLF website.
VCE Economics: RBA New Explainers & Upcoming Monetary Policy Webinars

The RBA would love to hear any feedback teachers may have on these resources.
