If you need more than legal advice, we may provide a lawyer to help with your case. This is called being granted legal aid. If you are granted legal aid, you may be helped by a legal aid lawyer or, in some cases, a private lawyer.
We can help you with most areas of law, including: family law and de facto relationships child support criminal law children, criminal law consumer issues tenancy, caravan park and retirement village disputes domestic violence child welfare refugee applications disputes with government departments (such as social security) discrimination and civil liberties protected estate matters mental health and guardianship matters veterans' pension appeals public interest environmental matters prisoners separate representatives for children in Family Court matters public interest coronial inquests.
Legal aid can be granted to children and other people at special disadvantage in an even wider range of matters.
