The restoration of more than $25 million in legal aid funding is important recognition of the work done by many agencies for those most in need, ACT Attorney-General Simon Corbell says.

Mr Corbell joined several states and the NT in a concerted campaign to have the proposed cuts to the services reversed.

On Thursday the Federal Government reversed cuts to legal aid commissions, community legal centres and indigenous legal service providers.

Mr Corbell said the final result for the ACT is yet to be clear, but the outcome shows that the Commonwealth recognises the importance of legal services for issues like domestic violence.

"I welcome the Federal Government's recognition of the critical role these services play in addressing the needs of vulnerable people in Canberra, particularly in the area of domestic violence.

"We have recently heard the community's concern regarding domestic violence and the essential support services victims need."

But he said he was disappointed funding would not be restored to advocacy services such as the Environment Defenders Office.

"This advocacy work plays an important role in ensuring a robust legal system and I urge the Commonwealth to reconsider its funding stance," he said.
