Legal Services acknowledges Aboriginal people as the Traditional Owners and ongoing occupants of the land and waters in South Australia. We respect their spiritual, cultural and heritage beliefs.
We recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community and pay our deep respect to Elders past and present.
We acknowledge Aboriginal people have endured past injustice and dispossession of their traditional lands and waters and the effects of such injustice and dispossession are still felt today.

Legal Services is represented as the centre meeting place connected to Journey Lines. The Journey represents Legal Services Journey, as well as its staff and people who seek and need legal help.
The surrounding waterholes represent the many locations where Legal Services are accessed, where people have equal access to justice, wherever they may be.
The symbol (U) represents the people, the people who represent Legal Services as well as the people in the many diverse communities across South Australia.
Throughout the piece there are Kangaroo Prints that represent the Legal Services mission to always move forward and never backwards, to keep growing and being a voice for the community.
