Legal Aid NSW is introducing LA Apply, a new grants management system. From 1 June 2026, we will begin by managing Civil Law grants in LA Apply.
Other law types will move to LA Apply over time. In the meantime, Family Law, Crime, and all Duty Solicitor claims will continue to be managed in Grants Online, using your existing Grants Online login.
Which system to use
| Service / matter type | System to use |
|---|---|
| Civil Law grants | |
| Family Law grants | Grants Online |
| Criminal Law grants | |
| Duty Solicitor claims for all law types |
If your matter type is not listed or you are unsure which system to use, email servicedesk@legalaid.nsw.gov.au.
We’ll continue to update this page as more law types move to LA Apply.
