How can my donation make a difference?
The Rule of Law Education Centre is a not-for- profit organisation that teaches Australians about the Magna Carta and its underlying principles of the rule of law. We provide Australian school students with non-partisan, syllabus relevant and contemporary resources together with our signature Law Day Out Excursion Program. Our resources encourage a culture of lawfulness within the Australian community where students not only support the rule of law in theory but are engaged in supporting and upholding its operation.
We are endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient. Donation of $2 or more are tax deductible for Australian taxpayers.
Donations can be made by EFT, cheque or Paypal. Please email us at info@ruleoflaw.org.au for more details. To donate by Credit Card/Paypal, please click the Paypal button to the side.
Informed Civics Competition
DONATE NOW!
Help us address the poor state of understanding of rights and responsibilities in Australian school students. Teachers want to teach Civics (ie laws, government and democracy) content. They also want to respectfully discuss current issues, but they often do not have a basic understanding themselves and need help to teach current issues without ‘getting into trouble.’
The informed competition aims to fill this gap – but we need your support to get this program in schools around Australia.

The Rule of Law Education Centre is looking for corporate sponsors for our Law Day Out, Court Excursion Program for year 11 and 12 legal studies students
When a society becomes comfortable and complacent, past fundamental principles are commonly forgotten and their significance lost, and it is no different with the rule of law.
Rule of Law Education seeks to explain to high school students why the rule of law is important and students are asked to critically analyse legislation and the work of the legal system using the filter of rule of law principles.
Since we began teaching high school students and established our education based website, we have taught over 30,000 students throughout New South Wales and Queensland and have had over 1.5 million page views on our website. This is no mean feat for an Institute which relies solely on voluntary donations.
