QPILCH holds several events during the year to showcase our services, raise matters of public interest and to raise funds for our services.
Our two main events are the Walk for Justice and the Public Interest Address.

| Walk for Justice |  |
Every year in conjunction with walks in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and the UK, QPILCH holds the Walk for Justice, an event to raise funds for services for people who cannot afford a lawyer or obtain legal aid.
Walkers pay a registration fee and get sponsorship and then take a 5km walk around the city. Funds raised go towards QPILCH's Disbursement Fund which is used primarily to fund outlays in pro bono litigation, such as filing fees and medical reports.
This year's Walk for Justice will be held on 17 May 2010.
