Do I have to pay for advice from a Community Legal Centre?

Our services are free. We believe everyone is entitled to know their rights, understand how the law affects them and achieve fair outcomes – no matter how much money they have or what their social status is, or where they live.

Due to high demand for legal services, each Community Legal Centre has criteria in place to ensure resources are used to support those who need it most.

Community Legal Centres also provide other services, such as legal information and education programs and online self-help tools, which may be available free of charge.

We receive funding and support from a range of sources, including government, philanthropy, public donations, volunteers, pro bono and in-kind support, to do this.
