Family Law Centre
Are you experiencing family violence? You may be eligible for free legal help from the Family Law Centre.
If you are a survivor of family violence and can’t afford legal representation, you may be eligible for a free lawyer and advocate. Call now to find out if you are eligible for the Family Law Centre.
How the Family Law Centre works
The lawyer can:
- provide you with full legal representation to resolve your family law issues; and
- help you with other overlapping legal and non-legal issues.
The advocate can:
- be your main point of contact,
- answer questions, and provide information;
- go with you to meetings and appointments; and
- connect you with other services such as counselling, Indigenous cultural supports, parenting support programs, settlement services, and victim services.
