THE ASK

There was a clear opportunity to provide a self-service digital “triage” experience that would direct the majority of help seekers to the resources they needed, thus freeing up capacity in offline channels and call centres to support more complex cases.

The Legal Aid NSW Client Service team chose the Fellowship model, with the intention of exploring emerging technology and learning directly from expert practitioners during the delivery of Discovery and Alpha phases for the new triage service.

The Fellows were working in a complex environment, with stakeholders including Client Service, IT and Lawyers, while the organisation was transforming following a merger with Law Access NSW. Three weeks into the project, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, requiring a rapid shift to distributed working and collaboration.

The team were able to introduce new ways of working, conduct design and user research remotely, and deliver two key prototypes for the Alpha phase, a cloud based MVP incorporating Natural Language Processing and an interactive model defining the future functionality of the triage service.

We're based in Melbourne, on the traditional lands of the Woiwurrung and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin nation. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging across Australia.

As an organisation we benefit from the rich history of contributions that Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people have made to the world.
