Community Legal Centres
Community legal centres are independent non-profit community organisations that
provide a range of assistance on legal and related matters to people on low incomes
and those with special needs. They bridge the gap for those who cannot afford their
own legal representation but for whom legal aid is not available.
Services may include information and referral, legal advice and ongoing legal assistance.
There are some areas of law that centres do not deal with, such as taxation and
commercial disputes.
You can find your nearest Community Legal Centre by using the search facility on
the front page of the website. Alternatively, search the
National Association of Community Legal Centres website to find a centre
near you.
