What can community legal services help with?

Community Legal Centres Australia does not provide direct legal services to members of the public. As a peak body, we represent and support more than 160 community-based legal services across Australia. 

Some of these services provide general legal assistance to people living in a defined geographic area. ‘Generalist’ services commonly assist people with civil and family law problems, including fines, credit and debt, parenting orders, family violence and child protection, and victim support. There are also specialist services that focus on a particular area of law, or a particular demographic.
